The reason would be one or a combination of:
1. They no longer see any potential in the Squeezebox products
2. They think the software is cheaper to maintain than it is
3. They have put a maximum limit on what the maintenance is allowed to
cost
4. They aren't aware of any major problem because they refuse to read
community forums and instead relies on people telling them directly by
calling the official support channel, which is the same way as many
other companies handle support.
5. They temporary needed the resources for some other project which
have higher priority.
If they really don't see any potential in the Squeezebox products, I
can't understand why the developers are doing the stuff they are doing.
Considering the amount of development resources there are a lot of new
development going on in 7.6 and I really can't see the point of this if
the products are considered deprecated. If you are correct, it would
have been a lot better to only focus this development time on bug
fixing.
If something costs a lot and you aren't sure about its potential, it's
not that strange if you like to restrict the costs during a period
until you have investigated/analyzed the potential.

Agreed, especially if barely none of the customers is even willing to
call the support or post in their official support forum and ask them
to fix it.
