One reason is probably the same reason Apple doesn't come out with a faster
65816 in the IIGS and third-party companies can: none of these companies
have to meet the demand Apple must for CPUs. If there is a "limited" supply
of faster, more expensive chips, there would be a limited supply of faster,
more expensive machines...
Just my own guess however...
