Apple covers the "high end" of the development system spectrum with MPW.  We
have an internal need for a development system that we control, since if
changes need to be made to support new products they can be done easily.  

I see no reason why Apple has to cover the same areas that are currently
covered by Symantec, TML, etc.  with their development systems.  MPW is a
tool that Apple provide for doing development.  What's wrong with having a
choice of development systems?
