For the same reason the geeks from NEXT got "not invented here" 
syndrome, fired Tog and the Human Interface Group, and changed about 
200 conventions and features that worked real well.

I really despise what they've done to the interface. Every day, I 
cringe at the stupid things they've done and the cycle wasting eye 
candy garbage. I hate the way the windows work, and the loss of the 
Applications menu...

I'm a hard core Apple guy and the dark side is worse to me but there 
is no reason for that except arrogance and an attempt to out do MS 
with useless flash.

Having said that, OSX is fairly stable and fairly fast but they 
didn't have to wreck that interface.
