It's not about compiling, it's about testing and support. Each officially supported version needs to be tested - which means having yet another set of test systems sitting around - and supported by the support team. And not only is Linux a splintered market in its own right, making testing and support a significant operation, but there isn't the same kind of single-point OS support that you get from Microsoft and Apple.
