Happily coding in Cocoa and Obj-C...
This question has been asked dozens of times over the last 18+ months
and there does not seem to be any answer that makes any sense
whatsoever. Indeed, almost every genuine Cocoa Guru on this list has
lamented this omission at some point, usually more than once. It is
the sorest of sore points, to be sure. Some theories have been
promoted: too many other fish to fry; some conspiracy vis-a-vis Oracle
or M$, or ???, roll your own. In any event, Apple is mute, as Apple is
wont to be, so all is speculation. Personally, I think it is just a
case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing; some
jackass made a bad decision and no one who understands the situation at
Apple has the clout to do anything about it without risking their job.
Either that or Jobs has some master plan that requires that Apple
remain clinging to a ~3% market share.
