Because people who are using Photoshop for professional work don't need anything else. They are happy to use Windows, Mac, Linux, etc - as long as Photoshop is included. It's not just theme or lack of simple features (when you try to transform transparent layer it becomes opaque - exactly when it's really, really bad). It the fact that all shortcuts are different, all dialogs are different, in short - it's totally different program. It does not mean GIMP is unusable - far from it. It just means that it's not an alternative to Photoshop...
