I'm sure for the XBox 360 set, it's exclusive for contract reasons, but as for a PC port? I think it's just cheapness on Konami's part at this point.
Fact is, Metal Gear games have been consistently expensive and years in production for as long as I can remember. That's why Snake always says "Kept you waiting, huh?" at the start of each game. It's a running self-aware gag at how long the games take to make. Konami probably had all they could take and forced Kojima to give them SOMETHING they could make money on, but in the past they'd been content with a demo to hype things up.
You really need to sit down and play Ground Zeroes though. It's a pretty dark little story, but it's got a few things to say about... Camp X-ray...

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
