I don't think Hypercard saw many significant updates in its lifetime after version 2 came out in 1989. It barely supported color, was never PPC native, etc. Maybe its codebase wasn't fit to be updated (it was a very early Mac app written mostly by one genius coder, after all), or maybe it was just internal politics that made it languish, but by the time Jobs came back it was already an old, weird, out-of-place product. As much as I love it, it was my first exposure to programming, I'm not really surprised it was cut, and I strongly disagree with the friendly article that it was some conspiracy against computer users' freedom.
