I was surprised about the IMU being left too. There were only 350 to begin with. I put those at the top of my team's list because I thought that if we wanted them we'd have to ask for them early.
On the other hand the description page only listed LabVIEW support, which may have scared people off. I did a little bit of extra research and it looked like getting them to work with C++ would be doable, but I suspect that a lot of times the person in charge of ordering would see that and dismiss it out of hand if they knew their team wasn't going to run LabVIEW.
One thing that seemed pretty clear to me when I was ordering was that the team wasn't going to be willing to spend another $850 to get a spare later so I was either going to ask for two or none. At 50 credits each, that gets you to 100 points, which is 2/3 of the new allotment of points. I wonder if a lot of teams didn't want to spend such a large fraction on something they weren't already familiar with.
