Also, if GarageBand had as much flexibility as Logic, then two things would happen: Many users would be confused by the additional options, and Logic would not be very differentiated from GarageBand. I think that Apple has hit the right balance, by keeping a few plugins exclusive to Logic, with simplified versions for less-sophisticated GarageBand users, and a handful of practical AudioUnits that make a good basis for any audio application.

You would still need Logic. In fact, that may well sell MORE copies of Logic. For example -- you have DP user who wants to use the Logic VI's. So they have to buy a copy of Logic, even if they don't want to use Logic as their DAW. Nice backdoor marketing.
