They've got it already. They just want you to pay real money for it.

Google Earth Fusion

It's a political decision. 
Google Earth is a free version provided for rich WinXP users in the
hope that some of them will pay up for the Plus and Pro and Enterprise
versions.

Obviously, there's no point in providing a free version for the
cheapskate Linux users. ;)
But if you are a company running Linux, you can afford to buy the
Fusion version.
