CUPS was done by Easy Software Products, in 1997. Apple adopted it only in 2002.
Swift is a language entirely in the control of Apple, mainly targeting Apples platforms. With little to no community engagement.
Bonjour is not really cross platform, and not really open source either as it has lots of strings attached to the license and terms one can use it under.
(I wouldn't say that Apple has done "nothing" -- but to credit them for doing much is also a stretch)

- iainmerrick 3y agoAs long as HLS is more open than Flash was, why not? It could be both of those things.
- epcoa 3y agoHa, I was only referring to the CSS animations. That seemed at the time to be more pressing. But no disagreement.
