I've seen it multiple times; the sole company/developer often considers the software "their baby" and doesn't want to "let it go" for a number of potentially quite valid reasons, such as fear of loss of livelihood, disagreement with others on the direction, etc.
Tarn Adams has a similar situation with DF. But hopefully they realize that at least having some sort of 'make available on death' could be valuable.
We have already lost untold countless relatively custom software packages for niche markets that you've never heard of - and people just continue or go back to doing things by hand.
