Ryan Dancey argued for rules-heavy games from the point of view of perceived player preferences. You and me, both, think that this is not the whole story. Nevertheless, I believe that rules-light games are much less interesting for companies than rules-heavy ones, because you cannot sell so many rules supplements. You can try your luck with settings and adventures, but even here, I think the market is smaller in the case of rules-light games, because you don't need pages and pages of stat blocks, like in d20; people can just use the latest novel they liked.This means that the central point may simply be that rules-light games are not expected to make enough money to make them an interesting product for a larger company like Hasbro.</blockquote>
