Any particular reasons?  Or it is just a policy decision?

Using CORBA basically means scripting languages could talk to Window
managers and programatically control the desktop.

It could be a separate level of compliance.  Given that ORBit's
footprint is what most mathematicians would have defined as epsilon I
could envision this being a nice addition to bring Unix into the
future.
