I can't say I blame them. FTA, P&T tried to announce their competitive product at a EE conference using A/V equipment paid for by Ellis Labs. i don't know much about EE and P&T, but if true, that was a dirtbag move on P&T's part.
Plus, Ellis Labs makes a good point here:
"Our customers do not have to worry whether or not Pixel & Tonic can develop and support something as complex as a publishing platform and still maintain the time and interest required to continue offering and supporting add-ons for a competitor’s product. It is a sincere and realistic concern that many of you have shared with us."

Although system makers (operating systems, content management systems whoever) regularly incorporate third parties application's functionality into their systems. I've never seen one launched with the message that it was created to punish a third party.
