I'm pretty sure it's deliberate. not as in intentionally punishing users, but intentionally not bothering to test their stuff with any third party equipment (excluding the blessed belkin maybe). if I had to distill the apple brand into a single phrase, it would be "my way or the highway". their way might be pretty good if you buy all the way in, but if not, you can go fuck yourself.

It’s because of cost involved in maintaining the code that can push the hinting through the various layers of the graphics stack. Coupled with Apple’s culture of ditching old technology at the first opportunity.
There are a lot of non high dpi devices out there. The majority of screens are. Whether it's your personal one (and you can't or don't want to change it) or a professional one (and your company may not want or be able to justify changing dozens of screens), you need to use them.
It's possible to display properly and cleanly on them, everyone else does it. It's not as great as on a high dpi obviously, but it's perfectly sevicable for its need.
