I just don't see Windows (ui) developers to change some of their habits. Using standard UI components is often seen boring and restricting. And so sacrificed to make some cool(?) interface like Winamp, ICQ ect. "Look at all the tricks I can code" often overshadows all these fancy guidelines.
At least for small scale freeware/shareware software.
