A more gentlemanly form: Elecraft needs to remain competitive in the market.
They have limited resources to advance the art. Lose focus and they fritter the valuable resources and die. The other "Big 3" do not concern themselves with AM, or for that matter, anything short of selling a new radios at kilo-dollars for new revisions, which Elecraft can do with upgrades that are little or no cost. Elecraft users are the benefactor of their focus. They do NOT need to focus resources on AM. For us old-timers here, if R.L. Drake focused on AM when they designed and released the Drake 1A (targeted for the SSB mode), they would have gone the way of Compaq, Commodore, Digital Equipment and others.
