My guess would be the RSA wanted more government contracts and the NSA said they would have to implement the government preferred algo as the default. The NSA will also pay you for these efforts. RSA would see that is win-win. They are getting paid to implement the gov standard AND it will help them win contracts in the future. Only a fool would say no to that.
