Because their app will be a native app which is simpler, runs better/faster
without the all the portability bloat. Portability is mostly only
interesting for corporations to minimize costs.

If the Be API is not satisfactory as is then it can be improved too. I
really don't see what anyone gains from a program being able to run on
several platforms. What's important is what you can do with a program,
and how efficient it is when doing what you need it to do.
