Because it's always a choice. You have a choice between implementing a new feature (that could earn you/your company money directly), or making an existing feature more accessible, which might make a very small number of people happy/enable them to use your product, and the profits from such an endeavour are probably smaller.

It should be practically 0 cost to implement these things, except that, as an industry, we've built up such a giant mountain of crap abstractions that it isn't anymore, and we apparently don't care because it won't line anyone's pockets. Forgive me if I care enough about personal computing to hold it to a higher standard.
