For the same reason most commercial Unix vendors haven't, security
(traditionally) doesn't sell. Speed/performance, whiz-bang features,
those sell, boost your revenue, and therefore please your stock
holders.
Also, I've noticed that it seems that RH seems to not have sysadmins
in the employ which are involved in the development/release cycle.
Adding a sysadmin who has LISA experience to the QA/release cycle
would help them immensely in this area...
Btw, from my own experiences, Debian comes pretty locked down for the
most part. But initial install can be a bit daunting even for those
well versed in Linux.
