It's probably because it was made in Quebec at some point, and there are stringent rules about giving or loaning away Quebecan software for free, enough and strict enough that many companies decide to forego the practice entirely lest they get sued in some ancient French sounding language they don't understand.
Or more likely, there's nobody left in marketing who knows that Softimage is sold on its own (still), and doesn't always come as a free plugin when you install Maya or Max.
