Because, TI Master, to build a replica of the official TI graph-link
would require a lot of equipment that would bring the price up much
higher than the current homemade models cost to build. It would also
complicate the building process. Basically, since the TIs have no
flow control built in, the Graph Link controls the rate of flow
through hardware. The other cables (I think; don't quote me on this)
do this through software and thus aren't able to use the official
graph link software.
