What do you find hard to believe. Digital has an excellent X11 Environment
(XUI). To strengthen it's commitment to the OSF, DEC intends to migrate to a 
MOTIF based environment over time. To avoid causing problems for it's existing
installed base, this migration will not happen in one major release.
Motif is available under a beta test type agreement to software vendors. Those
that need it now, have access to it. THose that don't need it now, will get it
in the near future.
