Well, bicubic patches are just plain difficult to use in general.
Because of their four corners, it's very difficult to make advanced
shapes where the patches are joined up smoothly. Some 3d programs which
also use patch-like shapes come about this problem by offering special
patches with 3 or 5 corners to supplement the regular ones with 4
corners. Not POV-Ray though.
