Apple has benefited immensely from developers building apps for their iDevices. Apple in their infinite wisdom decided that such apps must be developed on a Mac.
Making apps is not super profitable, most apps don't make enough revenue to support even 1 full time developer.
If they turn the Mac into a toy computer that developers can't use then it will affect the app ecosystem.
