One reason might be that embedded systems tend not to use shared
libaries, so the distribution-of-relinkable-object-files clauses of
the LGPL come into play. People would need to distribute not only the
source to the LGPL libraries they were using, but half-linked object
files of their own application. It's not out of the question, but it
is an added burden to organise it.
