What would they gain by open sourcing it ? They have no incentive to get it to run on other platforms as it implements an open standard already in widespread use. In fact they have an incentive to provide a better browser on their platform only (not saying they are managing to do it, but they have an incentive to do that).
As for why they aren't using Blink/WebKit - I'm guessing they have huge amount of work based on IE and related tech and also integrating LGPL code in to Windows is probably a big no-no.
