Plus, it's one more thing they can throw in to try and pitch an obviously inferior product.

it has probably more to do with the fact that for most people, they could care less about dts. They want more games for the kids and other stuff, and dont really care about better sound quality. As long as the kids are happy with hours of extras and there is some kind of surround sound, most people will be content. I think people who really want dts as an extra are too few for it to make much of a difference. Anyways, Im excited about this and will mark my 7th Disney movie this year.

Yes, it's odd that it's left off their BIG titles.
But, at least, they put a dts track on their CE's of Emperor's New Groove, Dinosaur and Atlantis.

DVD Talk Limited Edition
More info on the specs, from DVDAnswers:
The film itself will be presented in 1.66:1 along with a brand new Disney Enhanced 5.1 mix, a Dolby Digital 2.0 Original Theatrical Mix and a Dolby Digital 2.0 Enhanced Mix. Extras on disc one will include an audio commentary with actors Julie Andrews, Dick Van Dyke, Karen Dotrice and composer Richard Sherman, a feature that enables you to jump to a song of your choice and finally some Poppins Pop-Up fun facts that display during the movie. Extras on the second disc will include all-new animated short entitled The Cat That Looked At A King which based on one of the chapters from the original series of Mary Poppins books, a deleted song “Chimpanzoo” which is reconstructed using the original storyboard and concept artwork and accompanied by a new rendition of the song performed by co-composer Richard Sherman and a Magical Musical Reunion featurette that reunites Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke with co-composer Richard Sherman as they gather around a piano and reminisce. Next up will a fifty-minute making of documentary, a Musical Journey with Richard Sherman featurette in which the composer looks at some of the film’s locations, two Scene Deconstructions, a special effects featurettte, a Gala World Premiere feature and a Dick Van Dyke make-up test. Completing the package will be a wealth of publicity trailers including the original and re-issue ones, some still galleries and an interactive game in which you can test your Mary Poppins knowledge.

I went to this picture on opening night in 1964, by the way.
I was six, and the big Honolulu theater we saw it in had searchlights, a red carpet, and huge publicity posters lining the front courtyard. I was amazed...
