Because they had to go through all kinds of legal jazz to get the Mac system
there in the first place, and it's taking even longer to do the same for the
GS system.

Apple plans to move all it's anonymous FTP stuff to another machine, which
will have ALL of Apple's officially released software and developers' notes
available for both product lines. However, I think they have been at it long
enough -- I don't see what is holding them up after this long.
