I'm curious how you'd play back video without a video component installed.

As Richard mentioned, most of the other UNIX systems are very old. They 
are still served by older versions of the engine however. There's also 
the issue of just how many man-hours RR should invest in maintaining 
support for operating systems that may be used by only a handful of 
customers (if that.) Linux has the largest installed base right now and 
serves almost all RR's customers well.
