From
the Wikipedia page you provided, the LPC bus was introduced by Intel in
1998. Commodore closed doors in 1994.
Perhaps you mean it was something already available in the industry outside Intel before that date ? An perhaps if it was not, it was due to the limitation of the technologies as a rise in frequency is needed to do the multiplexing.
