In part because there is growing evidence that every other major editing and effects software is supporting ProRes Raw. Also you can get ProRes Raw out of Sony cameras, Nikon cameras, Canon cameras, Fuji cameras, Panasonic cameras, Sigma cameras, and Z Cam cameras (

I agree with that, there can be many reasons. However individuals and companies that use Davinci Resolve are facing clients who are using ProRes Raw and are being educated by other vendors that Resolve IS NOT the editor to go to when using ProRes Raw. This impacts every single user of Davinci Resolve and that impact is increased when those individuals are Davinci Resolve only shops.
This puts the pressure on companies like mine who in the last week got two calls from newish clients asking if I could handle both editing and color for their ProRes Raw workflow. My choices do exist...but are limited and involves either far too many extra steps in the process, bringing in another suite of editing software, or even possibly having to hire another person to manage ProRes Raw workflow.
Davinci Resolve is a tool and a tool is only as good as the task it can accomplish. I will not go out of business if I cannot do ProRes Raw in a single workflow stream...but I will look to get the best value for my limited dollars.
Blackmagic Design knows and, I am sure, understands all of these points. I am positive they have a roadmap to ProRes Raw...even if that roadmap leads to a dead end. I just wish they would allow their users to see where they are going with this issue. So all of us can make decisions.
