I've already listed two rather large technical reasons.

When a vendor submits code, they know their [hardware | filesystem]
best, but Linux kernel developers know the kernel code and kernel
direction best.

There needs to be a meeting of the minds. Vendors that stick to "I know
best" line of reasoning don't get very far in Linux.
