    Why the hell would it be smarter to "move apps to OS X"?
    Because unlike Linux, customers will actually pay for the OS X software, funding your time/effort and making it worthwhile for you to develop even more good software for that platform. Also I suspect there are more serious Mac users out there. Think of all the multimedia people and Engineers who use Macs because of the power. (I'm not a Mac nut, btw)
