Because this is supposed to be a standard protocol, meant for widespread 
use, not just on Unix.

I see many developments in the VNC protocol lately, which only target one 
special use case. Which is quite sad, because I think that with just a 
little more thought the results would be so much more useful for others, 
too.

See for example the inbuilt VNC server in QEmu. It does not exchange any 
code with any other VNC implementation. So, every improvement in this or 
that implementation is lost on all the others. Like I said, sad.
