Could be related to the decision to remove individual names from the product about boxes back when Jobs came back to better control leaking of internal information and cut down on poaching. I would think that Apple does not want anyone to know who is working on the screen capture APIs as this PR would probably come from one member of that group

"When Steve came back, one of his company-wide edicts was that the names of individuals must be removed from about boxes."

He also went further than that by illegally colluding with competitors to lower wages for employees. [0] [1]. What a great man.
