IBM says customers are not interested in running i5/OS on p5 hardware

I asked this question today on the iSociety chat with Jim Herring and
Ian Jarman:
"are there technical or performance obstacles to running i5/OS on the
p5 systems"

Ian Jarman answered: "No, but we have seen very limited number of
customers looking for that capability"

This makes no sense to me. Customers dont want to run i5/OS on a
system where the price is less than $5000 and the performance is
likely greater than what the i515 and i525 offer?

( I have to say "performance is likely greater" because my followup
question, which had to do with what would the CPW be of a specific p5
entry system running i5/OS, was not allowed by someone called "Angus"
)
