I figured that it was because Apple is more heavily involved with Hollywood than Google is, from production to distribution, and Apple would rather side with standards formulated by trusted experts, professionals, and academics with long track records like MPEG than ones that seemingly came from nowhere.

Fortunately, MPEG got lobotomized by ISO a few years back[0]. So there's room for a new standards org (e.g. AOM) to overtake them. In fact, Apple joined AOM recently, so presumably they will be providing their own expertise to that organization too.
