Why? Lack of resources - GNOME has had a lot more corporate backing than 
KDE. I'm not sure that Linux as a primary development platform is that 
great a thing for portability, as its interface is a blob formed from 
BSD, SysV and home grown. And porting from unix-alike+X11 to Win32 (and 
Aqua) is always a major effort.
