To answer your question, it is because Apple is an example of a company where the design people have run amok. They don't want to improve the keyboard, because it would make the laptop slightly less thin, and the people with the power, (the design department) don't want that. Just because Apple has lots of people working there, doesn't mean that the RIGHT people are in charge. No company is perfect. And although apples religious focus on design has helped it in the past, this time it seems to have hurt thebl company. And maybe they will learn from their mistakes or maybe they wont.
