Of course manufacturers don't want to use DIPs.
They are
electrically inferior.
Why? Is it just the bulk lead capacitance, or is there some other way
in which a DIP package is electrically deficient?
[DIPs] are bigger, slower, not RoHS compliant, ...
Bigger, yes. Slower, I can't see why, unless it's bulk capacitance.
RoHS compliant, that's a historical accident rather than anything
inherent in DIPs, isn't it? I can't see any reason why a DIP couldn't
be made as cleanly and compliantly as the corresponding surface-mount
part.
