rasmits has it dead-on.
Now, of course, if Apple were to commercially offer such virtualization software, it would be different, but then
1) they couldn't bundle Windows with it (at least not at the same low price Microsoft can)
2) they would have a hard time competing with MS and VMWare. They can't offer any significant advantages*, so they'd have to be cheaper, and they're not the company to do that either.
*) the "Apple can integrate into the OS better and thus optimize more" argument is a non-one, since the base OS is open source. Everything you need to know about OS X optimization is either obvious from the open-source parts, or rather well-documented.
