Iteratees are difficult enough to understand already -- requiring
prospective users to learn and understand CPS would just be another
roadblock. The CPS implementation is also slower -- I performed some
basic benchmarking of IterateeM.hs and IterateeMCPS.hs, and CPS is
only faster without optimizations. At -O, they are equal, and at -O2,
IterateeM is faster.
