Even more likely, it's because of the politics that prevent other
vendors from supplying NeWS ports for their machines.

The $100 fee for NeWS binaries doesn't seem like a big impediment 
to anyone who wants to run it on a Sun.  Of course, you don't get
sources, but then again you don't tend to NEED sources to get 
NeWS working, unlike certain other window systems we could name :-)
