Given the sales of Surface and touchscreen PCs I have to reject the whole premise of your question. What is Apple getting a 'pass' on here? They seem to be giving consumers what they want/expect out of these devices. Apple could snap their fingers and have a touch enabled version of OSX that's better than Windows 8. They could easily add an x86 target for iOS apps and have a massive library of native touch enabled apps for the Mac. They could do a legacy touch mode as good (low standard) as what Windows 8 has to offer. They obviously haven't done it because they think it sucks. Again given that the market has said the same thing so far the premise of the question is really backwards to me. Apple is getting a pass on not picking a failing strategy!
