Its enormously expensive to try to address the embedded market and the payback can be releatively small. Maybe someone sells a million HC11 processor based units, but they only need *one* compiler to build the code. Who's going to go develop that compiler? Better to try to get a bigger target audience and see if the embedded stuff falls out from there.
