Probably; I got my info from the developers themselves. Given that just about any aspect of the Pandora has been heavily debated in the community's forums and that the developers have "caved in" on several other points (you should have seen the cyberwars on the volume slider vs wheel!), I'd say that the swivel option was just too risky/expensive, because quite a lot of people did ask for it.
