Yes, they could but why would they?

To make their customers happy? E.g., anyone who wants to use Linux but still owns a hardware mp3 player which doesn't support ogg vorbis.

In any case, it would really be a feat if libsndfile got support for reading/writing ogg vorbis and at least reading mp3. :)
