Irony is that in the digital world drop shadows are not so basic and simple. The do require FPGA space and choices have to be made on the "would your rather" cases.
With almost every single graphics application supporting the ability to add the shadow in them it makes it very hard to commit those resources to that application instead of having other features that would be more useful -- like MediaStores or FrameSyncs or Internal DVEs.
Carbonite is a price targeted product. It has a huge feature set for an extremely competitive price. There are many features and functions in the product but this is one that was a "Would you Rather".
