Or Apple saw that and decide to change its mind. Sometimes companies change their minds this way, like how Microsoft changed its mind on the banning of DVDs for Xbox, even though they never "officially" said they would do that before the announcement of the Xbox One, but it was strongly "rumored" they would do that. I'm sure that's what they intended, but the outrage was too big to let it be.

They could have also been influenced by MS open sourcing .NET - it's difficult to compete if you don't keep up.

... Yes, Apple makes most of its decisions on open sourcing stuff based on reading HN. Of course.
