For example, I will download/install the first tracker to add UB support and them probably just stick with it due to inertia/laziness. Seems like an easy way to widen your customer base/corner that area of the market.
I've emphasized the answer in your quote. The sites are smaller. Therefore there are less players on them. If there's a choice between adding support for a site that has many thousands of players on it (thus more potential users for our software), and adding support for a site that only has at most a few thousand players (thus fewer potential users), the larger site makes more sense.
That being said, PT2 currently supports a very large number of sites, and with PT3, our goal will be to support the same sites as soon as possible. We will, though, be adding them according to their size.
