It seems fairly baffling to me as well. Maybe Emagic are struggling a bit
and decided to throw their lot in with Apple and OSX and gamble on giving
the Dark Side away. Maybe Apple like the coding at Emagic and want those
resources for a slightly higher level of built in Audio features for the
likes of iPhoto and iMovie.

Or maybe (insert theme from twilight zone) Apple are hatching a fully
Microsoftian terror beastie on the world of Audio and will not stop until
they've fragmented, confused and ultimately destroyed life as we know it
because no one can understand how to hook up shit in the Environment 
window.

One thing's for sure, knowing the pace of development, we won't have to
worry about anything for a while.
