It's a free app. It's the "iBooks" Author...used for creating richly interactive text books for iPads.
If you create software with Microsoft Visual Basic...the apps don't work on the Mac or on Linux...only on Windows.
If you create a website using Adobe Flash...it only works (if at all)...using Adobe's proprietary pluggin.
If you write an app in Java....it won't run unless it's on a machine that has the java jdk installed.
It's not all that unusual. And if the EULA is unacceptable, then simply don't use the product. Just build your highly interactive textbooks other ways.
