I have no inside knowledge, but I wonder if the emphasis in Exchange is
being shifted away from MAPI - webDav access (the basis for OWA) has
improved with every recent release, and I half suspect that MAPI is soon
going to be replaced as the main protocol - to be relegated to an 'also
supported' method.

If this was true, it would make no sense at all for macBU to spend a huge
chunk of their resources developing a MAPI client, and would explain why, in
Entourage 2004, the switched from the IMAP support to webDav support for
accessing mail etc.
