SBD is over $2.00 right now... is that price pegged to the USD?

Poll: Should we get rid of the SBD (Steem Backed Dollar), and just use Steem for everything instead?
Let me clarify- I’m not saying that the SBD is pegged to the USD right now. I’m asking why is it not?
Was it never truly pegged? Was there a fork somewhere along the line? Are there outside economic factors that prohibit the SBD from being pegged to the USD? Are there any new tax/legal regulations that have any impact on pegging the SBD to the USD?
I find value in having a cryptocurrency with a price stabilization mechanism. In terms of having a business that intigrates cryptocurrency, that price stability is essential for ballencing the books.

There is nothing stopping the Steemit programmers from perma-pegging the SBD to the USD, they just haven't done it.... yet.

Can you think of any reason why they wouldn’t?

I guess they don't want to, I don't know. I have still never actually seen voting via witnesses actually work, but they would have to in order to pass the code change.
