Having used both, I think the delay in optical stabilisation working could prove a distraction. According to wikipedia it came along in 1994 with film cameras. The reason they carry on with it is that "Not Invented Here" syndrome that sensor stabilisation provokes. Canon & Nikon have a system that works and offers an overt advantage of working in the viewfinder (spurious or no) and they can obtain a per-lens profit on their own technology. So far on dpreview I don't see anyone already on their camera systems that sees the need to switch systems on the basis of optical v sensor stabilisation, so the big two have no motive to change their designs.

That is the only reason I can see also. The "not invented here syndrome" and not enough users asking for a change. Although, my personal experience is that a lot of canikon users are dreaming about getting all their primes stabilized with IBIS.

However, this does not explain why Sony chose not to use IBIS on Nex.

It is also weird why Panasonic did not chose IBIS for their MFT cameras.
