My guess is that the development is only continued so that AOL can have their "own" browser to bundle with the AOL client software (assuming it's still using Netscape these days). I think that's partly due to the whole AOL-Microsoft history - it does have the feel of an (increasingly-futile) "screw you" gesture to Microsoft, since the whole "AOL uses IE in exchange for MS bundling AOL with Windows" deal went sour.
Almost a little sad that AOL has declined so far in relevance - I kind of miss the good 'ol days of alt.aol-sucks (and alt.usenet.kooks, alt.fan.karl-malden.nose, etc - good times).
