I suspect it had to do with SSE being 'good enough' that there wasn't a compelling advantage any more for developing 3D Now! While 3D Now! had a significant advantage over MMX (from what I understand) the same could not be said of 3D Now! compared to SSE. Plus, as Graham points out, it's another instruction set that developers have to compile for.
