And maybe, when designing the housing, they just didn't know yet, which stylus to finally use.
Or they knew, but didn't want to have 2 kinds of housings. You'd need 2 different slots for 2 different styli...
They've always offered multiple stylus options in the past. Both the iLiad and DR1000 came with the basic stylus (and have a slot designed for it), but even several years ago with the iLiad you could still buy the advanced or professional stylus from them as an upgrade (although they won't fit in the device). So, the concept of multiple styli isn't new to them.

I still believe that they don't include a slot for the basic stylus because it won't fit. I don't think they made that decision just to PO everyone.
