Plus it might have licensing issues, since the game was developed by more than just epic games, unlike Unreal which is all them.
I've only had slight lag issues with JJ1 in DOSBox before (back during a previous version). I'll dig up my copy of JJ1 and try it again.

Also I imagine the licensing issues would be by far the biggest hurdle in releasing JJ2. Even if all parties would agree to releasing JJ2 via Steam, getting them all together would prove an arduous task at the very least, as we've seen before with attempting to obtain the source code.
