It's about competition.  

AFAIK Apple hasn't made an AirPlay player for a PC.

Airplay video has been hacked as the protocol is fairly open (so far)
and some basic non Apple clients have been built for Linux and Windows.
If competitive products to AppleTV start supporting Airplay perhaps
things may change. 

Airplay audio still uses the old AirTunes protocol aka RAOP.  This used
to be open and a few open source projects were started and then the
protocol was encrypted and development stopped. Although recently new
efforts are being made to break the encryption such as RAOP support has
been added to MPD but this approach won't help SBS support by Logitech.
