Not 100% sure, but I could imagine that it is partly a legacy thing, the BBC have been using RealPlayer for a long time, back when it was even vaguely usable with slower connections. Another factor could be that there are versions of RealPlayer available for almost every OS, I guess it could be awkard for the BBC to use a delivery system that is limited in what computers it can be used on, kind of like having television that only worked if you had a Sony TV.
