Isn't it more likley that they simply don't think it's worth their while?  
The same reason that Nokia doesn't ship (AFAIK) it's sync/data suite as a  
linux app - that (aside from users on this list) there's simply not wide  
enough support for it. Far more people use Windows to play MP3s than use  
Linux boxes to play OGGs, I'd imagine.

Plus the fact that they'd probably rather* send them out capable of  
playing only DRM'd files, I suppose...
