That's not necessarily bad, it may also be that dvipdfm is mature.

I don't know exactly what you mean by technical reason. In any case
dvipdfm is already in texlive, so maybe it is not worth bothering
packaging it separately if it is not updated more often than texlive.
However I think that a dvipdfm package should stay, especially if it
works well and isn't updated often.
