Laziness/incompetence mostly. Actually it has no Internet connection so 
I would have to play a few fun games to get anything done.

Come to think of it though, I do have 2 blank hard drive in it that I 
could play with....

Short version is it would be a pain. If you can build DMD with stuff 
that won't require people to update it would save a lot of effort for a 
bunch of people.
