You shouldn't have to ask "why" for long. "Why" is because they care
more about the market of people who will actually buy the RTS game, than
about the handful of people who might buy the "TB strategy game with
decent AI".
How many copies of Korsun Pocket do you think have been sold? And how
many of Age of Mythology, or Rise of Nations? Seriously. What does
that tell you about the "market"?
I have the same preferences as you. But I don't pretend that the
"market" is behind me.
