G-Dog,
Not a dumb question at all, but I suppose the only reason would be to
extend the existing functionality for other, not yet included,
features. Apple has demonstrated the ability to innovate and include,
but they are not like Freedom Scientific in terms of understanding the
needs and wants of the user base, so I reckon they are leaving the
door open for others to fill that void.
