There is no good reason NOT to support it to the extent that it works. There is no good reason not to support ANY protocol, even one completely home-grown, to the extend that it installs in same manner and is supported though whatever features it, itself, supports in a standardized manner. Perhaps it's only antiquated in your and MS's minds. Certainly not so to anyone who uses it. That doesn't even begin to mean someone else shouldn't use something that suits their needs more than your own personal alternative would. The fact of the matter is that the main benefit of TCP/IP is that it's routable.. Once you remove that need, you're left with a slower protocol.
