They would rather use unproven technology that they own then go out and put something that they don't own/develop/make a shit load of money in their systems. I'm not knocking them for it I'm just saying that's how Apple as a whole think. They want to own/control everything that goes into their products top down.

To this date, I have not seen an interface that can utilize one single connection to transfer multiple high bandwidth peripherals. (ie; monitors, hard drives etc etc). Even if it was done so with the collaboration of Apple, it doesn't deter the fact that it's one of the most promising interfaces to date.
I don't care if they want to have market share in every single thing they put on their systems, that's not even for me to worry about. Every company wants to own a piece of something. That's how the corporate world works. You can simply not support Apple products by NOT buy them, I only care for products that will benefit me. Much like how Thunderbolt seems like a very viable interface that will make my workspace faster and more efficient.
