Ogg Vorbis (ogg is just the container, vorbis is the audio codec itself...) demands much more cpu power than MP3 for playback. Also, this player usually has some special DSPs for playback of MP3, AAC, WMA and other formats, but most of the CPUs doesn't have this special suport for vorbis... So, it's quite dificult for some player to support vorbis (forget all this "small" players for now... usually just the ones that comes from Korea has Ogg vorbis support...), it demands a higher profile CPU and also results in lower playback time...
Apple also don't support the format for political reasons (they want more people using "their" formats MP4-based plus their DRM...)... so Ogg vorbis is much more a audiophile (also true for FLAC) and geek thing than something that americans/europeans are demanding... Yeah, that's sad...
