Probably because a hacker news comment isn't the best place for a feature request about using a proprietary library and comparing to a commercial distribution of a different language. By the way, Julia partners with Intel as well, but on things like adding multithreading support to the language, and developing auto-parallelizing compilers (https://github.com/IntelLabs/ParallelAccelerator.jl https://github.com/IntelLabs/ParallelAccelerator.jl). Improved support for building Julia with MKL and Intel's C and Fortran compilers is something that Intel would probably like to collaborate with us on as well, but not much has happened there officially yet (these are different groups within Intel).
