Why does there seem to be a lack of interest in Musepack?

Never understood this I've done a basic A/B with MPC vs other codecs. I've found It way more robust to vast amount of problem cases, It is quite ignorant to claim MPC only good at 224kbps VBR. FYI they removed MPC from 2006 DBT face off's because It was 4.8/5 at 128kbps VBR while AAC/Vorbis were 4.3/5.
96kbps VBR(Q3) = Much better than Vorbis/LAME, Very close to AAC/Opus. Great for low complex music like audiobooks to ambient.
128kbps VBR(Q4) = Pretty much ties to AAC/Opus/Lame. Vorbis still suffers from Stereo crush.
165kbps VBR(Q4.9) = Beats AAC/Vorbis/Opus. Blows LAME away on pre echo heavy samples.
224kbps VBR(Q6) = No change still transparent.
