> A lot of outrage hass been expressed, but there has to be a "why". Why?

Because it makes economic sense for Apple, and it hurts a company that
Steve Jobs doesn't care for right now.

If you don't allow cross-platform tools to work, developers have to
explicitly choose your platform. Right now, Apple has the market
advantage - lots of people have and want iPhones, iPads, etc. So
developers will choose to build for the Apple platform rather than
building for multiple platforms, giving the App Store a continuing
competitive advantage.
