let me guess:

implementing the basic standards ten years ago (on top of
X, which was intended to be an experimental basis for
different windowing systems) together with a really
unconventional user interface (as the Oberon System
is) was easier than interfacing to fairly complete frameworks
with user interface standards and things like dynamic data
exchange (or how to name it), mime types, automagic starting
other apps, accessibility aids, font aliasing etc.
