Considering it's only BB L that isn't on D3, then Virgin are heading in that direction
However as with any business, it's a balance between costs. Supplying expensive D3 kit to services that don't require it means you don't have it for services that do
Same as why it was only the V+ boxes that were HD - because the costs of making HD kit were high. When the costs came down Virgin were able to produce boxes at a low enough cost to make HD ready boxes standard.
Eventually D3 kit will become standard across all the services - but only when it's economical to do so
