If a story broke that Apple strong armed Micromat into some deal to force an OS X version be included, you'd cry foul there, too. Considering that this is a third party we're dealing with here and not just Apple, it's not completely up to Apple. Micromat may not want to go to the extra expense of making a Lite version of Drive 10 because it may impact their Drive 10 sales, or they don't want to spend the man-hours to carbonize Tech Tool (a carbon app probably wouldn't work well to do some of the things Tech Tool does, though). They may not be interested in anything beyond their current deal with Apple at all. One never knows... one never knows. Apple may want to provide something else, but their license with Micromat prevents them from doing so. Or maybe the current software WORKS, so there's no reason to "fix" it.
