Beth asked/said:  "I would be curious to know if other museums have no stroller policies and why."

Our largest museum (we're a system, but don't get me started on that) includes 30 structures on 5.5 acres.  We welcome strollers on the grounds but don't allow them into those buildings which house un-encased historical furnishings because there simply isn't enough space to maneuver with safety (of the artifacts).  We do allow wheel chairs.

I must agree with David on this one - except in special instances, strollers are a convenience not a necessity.
