There is NIH syndrome (not invented here) at work. Apple used to have
a monitor profile with gamma 1.8, they have been forced to accept that
LCD monitor now run natively close to 2.2, it doesn't amuse them, so
they will be damned if they also accept that images which come from PC
systems are using the "Microsoft" standard sRGB. Give them another two
years or so, and they will make the change. At that point wide gamut
will be in wide use anyway :)
