As others have pointed out, it doesn't scale well.  Basically, you have
a combinatorial problem: there are N users, M files/directories/objects,
and P sets of permissions.  You certainly don't need all combinations of
users/objects/permissions, but as the number of users and objects grows,
so (generally) does the number of unique permission groupings.  As
NetBSD systems are used in larger and larger configurations, ACLs look
much more intriguing to many more people.

Heh.  Often, it's "don't have time to code everything".
