Because those companies knew that people would want to operate their existing equipment with the command controlled ones which you cannot do with DCC.
seems MTH could have as there HO locomotive decoders handled DCS , DCC and DC so I would assume his system is somewhat similar to DCC.
A dcc decoder has been standard since Protosound 3's introduction into o scale and, I believe, is on some proto 2 locos. That way, if you do convert to dcc, you can run any proto 3 engine in dcc mode without having to rip out the boards. It seems Mike did plan a little for the future.
