Perhaps because nobody can seriously expect Apple to commit to openness (this is the company that forbids open source licenses in its app store), where Google was already using an open protocol?

I don't think Apple actually forbids open source from the app store, do they?

As far as I understand/interpret their policy: they only prohibit so-called copyleft licenses, and/or ones which would be violated inherently by the app store's binary-only distribution model.
