My guess is they didn't sell enough to make supporting it worthwhile.

No.  It's an extremely stable system.

Like previous Apple OS incarnations, it perhaps suffered from the fact
that it only worked on Sun hardware; that might have limited it's
distribution to the point where Plesk couldn't justify supporting it
anymore.

Yes, there used to be a version of Solaris for x86, but it was recently
EOLd.  Probably for the same reason Plesk discontinued support for
Solaris.

Solaris is a bit more "modular" than linux, and the BSDs; unless they've
changed, you don't automatically get all the compilers, etc., unless you
buy them.  Hopefully Bruce will update this information if it's changed,
or if I've somehow misunderstood.

Call plesk and ask for their sales department <smile>.
