Developers aren't the target audience for apple (or at least they haven't been, see [1].) I would argue historically their target users were artists / designers / musicians and students.

My first exposure to a mac was in middle school art class where we had a single mac for scanning and photoshop usage.
Well, I guess that's my point. OS X has been wildly successful at attracting developers without having them as their primary audience. Why do we think we need to explicitly target developers?
