There's also the fact there's a very limited amount of resources and Akai has already done a pretty good job of squeezing what they can out of it. Pigments cant even run in live mode in Logic Pro without pegging its whole assigned core and constantly overloading on an i7 Mac mini, and Logic Pro is coded a hell of a lot more efficiently on a lot more powerful hardware than the MPC is. Massive X? Not going to happen as it uses Intel AVX instructions. Same with U-he, and just about everybody else. Open it up to the public? You're going to be stuck with githubbers and their weekend source code projects crashing your MPC left and right. Akai doesn't want any part in that support nightmare. People cant even bother to read their manual to figure out how they turn their MPC on anymore, do you think they're NOT going to go straight to Akai when somebodies half-assed port of some DX7 knock off starts wreaking havoc and melting down their MPC?
