IBM went away, simple people live here

The Shareholders of IBM corporation and Microsoft made the decision to extract resources (money) from OS/2 in the end of 90-th.

Since year 2000, OS/2 users live alone. The billions of dollars which were on this market, are not available anymore. Simple users and investors burn own money here.
