Because then everybody else would say "well, Ed got one for free -- I  
want one too".

Ed has gone out of his way to make OpenOffice run natively on the  
Mac, and put in many hours beyond his full time job at BIOPAC  
Systems, Inc.  OpenOffice is the only real viable alternative full  
office suite to Microsoft Office.  I also suspect that Apple would  
hesitate to assist in development or get involved in this project  
because it is a (free) direct competitor to a major Mac OS X  
application built by one of their business associates (Microsoft)
