Not all of the "Chinese" speaking population live in the same country or speak the same language. Further, they also have different writing systems, with simplified being official in mainland China, Malaysia and Singapore, and traditional being used in Hong Kong & Taiwan. There are also different phonetic systems, like Zhuyin/bopomofo. Some of these are taught in the educational systems and used as computer input method. Apple choosing to support only one of these would be far more drastic than forcing all Latin alphabet languages to use the same layout. There could also likely be political ramifications, as traditional and simplified are the subjects of significant debate.
