The whole Mac thing was maximum Apple. Everything has to be about locking you into an ecosystem even if it comes at the expense of functionality.
If it'd been able to connect to PCs then it would have been able to play games and then it might have actually been a justifiable purchase.
It's the same reason why Apple cannot get anyone outside of the United States to care about iMessage. People in developing countries don't tend to have iPhones as much as in the US, so if the messaging service can't connect to cheaper androids then it's essentially worthless.
