I would have thought that everyone here understands the value of a secret recipe. Why would you spend MILLIONS to do something and just piss it away to your competitors so they can save money and reap your rewards. Do not compare hardware and software synthesizer and sequencing solutions to webbrowsers given away for free to promote other things . . . .

  Is that for reasons of IP protection? Or because supporting such tools
  would be something of a resource drain?

  (Korg have taken the same stance with their OasysPCI card in order to
  protect the IP of their filter algorithms, for example.)
