What's in it for BSW?

Idle speculation but:
It is apparent that the members of this list were prepared to pay around 1000
dollars for an upgrade; a new version would have a development cost of at
least one order of magnitude more than this figure. I think that even most
ardent supporter of OS/2 would concede that the number to users of the
operating system is declining.
Every flavour of Windows comes with a mail client that the vast majority of
users find satisfactory and there are a raft of other mail clients available for the
operating system.
However hard I try I can't see how a return could be made on any further
investment in PMMail - which is presumably why Bob and Icon disposed of it.
I can't suppose that Thomas Bradford acquired it out of sentiment but neither
can I see how it could be a commercial proposition ...
Anybody like to speculate?
