I can't speak for all vendors, but trust me the reason is NOT because the vendors don't know how to package SMP/E deliverables. There is (at least in the ones I have dealt with) a full SMP/E install under those covers. The autocurse installers exist because a significant number of customers ask (demand!) them. The ibm-main audience is not necessarily typical because there are a lot of customers who can't spell SMP/E let alone configure high end software products.
