My guess is that the original code was written for Win32 without
portability in mind, and now they're too lazy and/or don't have the
resources to fix it.

If that's not how it happened, maybe learning to use some portable GUI
toolkit looked like too much work or something...? Maybe they didn't
know about Google, and thus failed to find anything useful? ;-)
