You have to wonder about the reason for the different gamut. I do not believe Apple intentionally made it worse. On an LCD screen the color range is determined by the backlight and how white it is and uniformly bright. Color is determined by little filters on each dot (subpixel). Of course the filters themselves could be off but I doubt that. I suspect that getting a wider range of white needs a lamp system that consumes more power and results in a need for more powerful batteries, or accept a shorter battery life. Hardware design is all about tradeoffs, not trying to screw the customer.
