This reminds me of how you originally needed a Mac in order to use an iPod which was later reversed.
Perhaps they are attempting to create a lock-in via network effects similar to Microsoft's where everybody feels they should own at least 1 apple device just to be able to be compatible with everyone else.
It's also possible they will port this to other platforms once they have it right on the mac as there are many people (such as myself) who simply can't justify the cost of buying an apple device.
