Arguably that's a good question. The main reason is that a "CADS" is already on every PASN-AL in the system, so you can use the ALET without doing an ALESERV SEARCH/ADD. Shared memory objects provide managed sharing and therefore they have to be explicitly connected to from a particular address space before they can be accessed from that space. I would argue that there are obvious ways of making that work very nicely and it certainly gives you plenty of headroom. And shared memory objects (unlike CADS) are NOT a limited resource.
