Apple is all about rapid iteration. With the iOS, they're moving at lightning speed. Perhaps they want to achieve the same on Mac OS. Steve Jobs has called Java a "ball and a chain" years ago, so this is not too surprising. Strategically, Apple doesn't care about cross-platform technologies because per definition they don't take advantage of platform innovations. See Job's Flash-on-iOS open letter. Nobody say Apple is not consistent in their strategy and vision - in fact, I've never seen such a razor sharp focus in a company that size.
