    Simple: size of the market available to software developers.
Some of us would like to prostitute ourselves and actually make some
money doing software for the machine.  The more people own one, the better
the chance that it would be worth our while.
    Even those of us who don't have such aspirations are at least
partially dependent upon those who do for the software we use (Yeah,
I know, you can get PD software for most things, or write our own, 
but really now, all of us use some commercial software, right?)
