... and historically they would have been right. The issues of MYOB and Samba has been discussed on this and most every other Linux and Samba mailing list. In the past there have been a number of issues with Samba and MYOB, ranging from inability to run MYOB in multiuser mode up to corruption of data files. These issues have been solved by patches to Samba. Even if these issues have been resolved, cant you see why MYOB wouldn't want to support Linux?
