You've had 25 years to apply pressure and they've had 25 years to respond. How much longer should we wait? (I know of one vendor who is actively VMSESifying their product as we speak.) Products that do not modify or otherwise integrate with the z/VM base or its features are not subject to the SERVICE/PUT2PROD requirement since we don't ship any service that would affect them directly.
