 Was doing some digging and it seems that AOL and Commodore had a falling out over payment for services that Commodore owned Quantum Computer Services/AOL.  If this is accurate (and knowing that Commodore and Jack Tramiel did have a history of souring relations with business partners which definatly followed Commodore and hurt the Amiga.) this would also explain why the Atari-ST never recieved a version as well.
