I can see your point, because the massmarket is clearly using Windows
and is used to closed source applications. They are probably also more
used to fat than slim devices.

But...
If I were Logitech and I liked to develop a Windows based solution with
fat device hardware, I have a hard time to motivate why to buy Slim
Devices. From my point of view the two major things that is unique with
Slim Devices as a company are:
- Experience with open source based solutions where developing the
software together with the community is important. 
- Experience with slim hardware devices

Sure, the audio quality is good, but to be honest, there are other
companies that have more experience in making good audio products than
Slim Devices.

So, to me it seems like there must have been better alternatives
available to Logitech if they were interested in making mass market fat
devices supported by a Windows application. But you might be seeing
something that I don't.
