Because that only works if none of your customers want to access their home
boxes from outside in any way, and if none of their applications require a return
channel.
Telling your customers they can't telnet, ssh, or VNC into their home boxes
costs you all your *nix users, and telling them they can't use Napster costs
you all your Windows users.
The few Mac users you have left don't keep you profitable. :-)
