My guess: They don't want to compete with the folks that OEM Polycom
hardware. Lots of commercial phone system vendors just re-brand Polycom
phones, and Polycom doesn't want to hurt their relationship with those
businesses.
I bet that at some point one of the Asterisk-using Polycom vendors gets
the momentum to get a better Polycom<->Asterisk user relationship going.
The trouble is that most of the Asterisk-using hardware vendors are
hardware agnostic, and don't want sign anything that says "We'll only
sell Polycom equipment".
