Why there're different PPD files for different OS? [EOM]

Well, one reaon surely is the different EOL conventions for different

most programs digesting text files are not as clever as PostScript to
accept
all three conventions.

One more reason (I guess) is that the vendors usually think the users
are not
clever enough to think in abstract terms and are too lazy to gather
pieces of
information from different locations/sources.
