I dunno if they don't want to hear it (Kenwood Japan) or if the think they can keep getting folks to buy both the amateur radios AND the commercial ones to keep making more $$$.
That said, I'm looking forward to the new tri-band + d-star HT. As I suspect it's going to be much more $$$ than the Icom IC-T70A I currently use, I told my wife and kids to split the cost as a Christmas gift to me.
