Trust DJ to deflate all of our wild speculations. Turns out the reason

Of course, it's great to know that id really took the time to learn
about what was available instead of just picking a high-priced compiler
because for that much money it had to be good. It means that there is
hope that, one day, commercial software companies may actually take off
their blinders...
