Oh my god is that why Apple has yet to put modems in their laptops? I could totally see Apple unable to compromise on support for a Qualcomm modem for something like 8 years.

Apple's designed Qualcomm out of next-generation iPhones (again) [1], only this time they've acquired the Intel/Infineon modem design team instead of buying the parts. So if Apple were to make a Macbook with a modem next year, it'd be their own.

Honestly, I think it's because they believe anyone with a macbook should have an iphone - their easy and transparent tethering works embarrassingly well.
