Two considerations come to mind: either the demand for this type of product
is not large enough to warrant its introduction on the market; or what the
prospective users are willing to pay is way too little for what it would
cost the companies to develop it, offer it up for sale and still make an
attractive profit.
Another option: people who want this should join (or start) an open
source project to work on it. What's even better about this is that
you get to help set the direction.
