Why are there no major firms in the Empire State Building?

Why aren't any leading firms headquartered there? It seems the existing tenants lease it for satellite or back offices. I would think some elite boutiques or similar firms in other industries would want an office here - what could be more iconic? Don't tell me the Empire State Building is considered unfashionable now...
