Maybe it's because of patents?

Very informative, thanks! I didn't realise how much I enjoy the trackpad (that is, don't fight it and curse at it) until I come to use a Windows laptop and pinch to zoom, swipe left/right etc. doesn't work.

In fact, using a MacBook in Windows is a frustrating experience as the touchpad doesn't work as it does under OSX.
