Yes, but they're Windows-only, and there is no source code available. I don't want to have to buy a very expensive piece of software (which is closed-source, and therefore insecure and unmaintainable) to run another piece of closed-source software.
If you see a need, start writing. This software doesn't appear magically, out of nowhere. Somebody has to write it. Why can't that somebody be you?
I'll just add that to the dozen or so other open-source projects I actively maintain, then ;-)
Seriously, I'm quite happy to kick off a project if others are willing to share some of the work. I really wanted a decent APRS client for Linux, and I thought that maybe an APRS-IS viewer would be a great way forwards. No-one seems to be terribly forthcoming with the APRS-IS protocol, though.
