Globalstar just wanted a scaled down web interface.
Globalstar provides satellite web access to remote locations.
Satellite is intrinsically slower than conventional access.
To deal with these slower speeds Globalstar and other satellite providers encourage the use of XGate.
Xgate is software that is distributed by Marine Global Services, not a software company. They charge $120 a year for a subscription.
XGate is the leading independent satellite data service with thousands of people all over the world currently using XGate to keep connected over satellite.
"thousands"
How much money would you invest in software development to satisfy a few thousand users?

Xgate simply strips web pages and compresses email to accommodate the slower connection speeds associated with satellite service.

The niche is obviously open for improvement and I think its what gave YIPI a meeting with Globalstar, but it doesn't equate to a big money maker.
