Hehe, to try answering your question - not that i would know, really - i
see two reasons why they would:

1. It is easier to concentrate on one particualar vendor than to offer
different options. Means less things to bother with during design.

2. Exclusive deals are a common practice. IBMs supply contract with ATI
might have involved the exclusive use of ATI solutions for dedicated
graphics.
