How come Dolby Digital Live isn't a standard on all high end mobo & GPU cards?

Just as my header describes...I can't understand why all major cable companies use this method to broadcast 5.1 digital sound as well as PS3 & Xbox 360 using this as an industry standard for gaming purposes. How can it be that computers don't have it on all motherboards & graphics cards? I bring this up because I have it on my PC with my onboard Intel IDT equipped audio card. This is not even an option on my Nvdia Graphics card or my friends recently acquired PC with a high end ASUS motherboard. I have put pics to show where the option should be available when selecting SPDIF optical output from your PC.(which by the way I think should have also been available for HDMI output).

As you can see in the photo when you go to your sound options in the control panel I just select my SPDIF-Out then click properties and this will give the the option for full time Dolby Digital sound. This is vastly superior to any form of other gaming audio available. This has to become the standard. Please help me to increase the demand. Thanks for any help. Should I get enough support I will provide a better demonstration via a video on Youtube. Here is a link which also details from Dolby website what I am Referring to. http://www.dolby.com/us/en/consumer/technology/home-theater/dolby-digital-live.html
 
Most people that need higher quality audio have their own sound cards. Motherboard manufacturers would have to raise the prices on their boards for the added features and a lot of customers would buy their own anyway. Or they do not have good enough speakers to really hear the difference.
