You're talking two entirely separate ballparks. On the Mac, Apple has no ability to block products from release. Furthermore, the environment of OS X seems to be a positive reenforcement for developers, because I've seen more beautiful software here than I see anywhere else. Hell, I can't think off the top of my head if I've ever seen an elegant minimalist interface on another operating system. Closest I can think of is the Ribbon system on Microsoft Office, which they unfortunately ruined in the transition to OS X.
