>>>Well, it's because Gary Kildall (CPM) had his head in the sand, putting his pride/nobility/innovativeness/superiority above making a prudent business decision with big bad/evil IBM. If only he didn't have that foolish mentality.<<<

Kildall denied repeatedly that there was ever any such happening. Or any offer from IBM, etc etc. Anyway, if only what? Gary Kildall ended up with hundreds of millions of dollars, which he often stopped to enjoy in many ways, fortunate as he died young. After making Intel PCs the main contender.
