My understanding is that MPW is Apple's official development environment, 
meant
to satisfy the Apple requirement that all in-house programs (such as the ROM,
the OS, HyperCard, etc) are completely owned by Apple. The fact that MPW is
sold to third-part developers for their own use, and the advantage that MPW
offers to said developers by providing a consistant platform for various 
compilers,
is merely icing on the cake: MPW is meant for Apple, others are welcome to use
 
it, but it's there for Apple's use, first and foremost.
