Probably because it seems CAD is mutating much like the antivirus 
industry. Antiviruses aren't about viruses any more. They're malware. 
Why? Trojans aren't viruses. Phishing pages aren't viruses. Spyware more 
often than not do not act like traditional viruses. They call themselves 
antivirus, but they're not. They're anti-malware.

CAD software seemed to take it's cue from the flagship AutoCAD...which 
today is a behemoth application that can do everything short of actually 
using a 3D printer to create your finished product. People frown on a 
CAD application that just does...well,...CAD.

At least, that's my observation.
