Subject: Why So Few Commercial Applications That Use RPC?

Given the widespread availability of RPC technology in the UNIX world,
I am wondering why haven't more vendors offered commercial applications
that make use of the RPC technology?  What are the technical or business
issues that keep process modeling or simulation or other mathematically
intensive applications from making use of the power of a number of machines
on the network?  Note that I am talking about applications that
vendors write and resell to end-users and not about homegrown
applications.

Thanks,
