Small gamer market share, historically buggy and underperforming 3D
graphics drivers, no common way to sell/support.
Lots of other reaosns too. The graphics side is getting better and the
Android world is driving a lot of what is in fact Linux based gaming (and
Linux development work - because its a lot easy to do development on
Linux and then move it onto an Android phone than try and develop on a
phone)
