There wasn't much interest. With the advent if ICSP, ICD, and reasonably priced compilers, and cheap programmers, the barrier between would-be stamp users and would be bare-PIC users is considerably lower than it used to be, and anyone willing to deal with bare chips is already too close to being over that barrier...
