That's probably because most serious VMS users moved out of the 80's
a long time ago.  Being as VMS has apparently given up on the desktop
permanently what would you expect most VMS users to be using on their
desktop?

It is interesting that VMS now runs on the hardware found on 99% of
the desktops and there is considerable interest in the concept of
using obscure OSes as a security enhancement (see the latest copy
of CACM for a mention) but we still see no interest in even probing
that niche.  :-)
