A tool manufacturer sells you a screwdriver. They want you to use it only as a screwdriver. They don't want you to use it as a chisel, scraper, driftpin, alignment tool, prybar, etc. They want you to purchase all those tools, not just the screwdriver.

Um... Have you ever tried developing on Apple, or for Apple...? Not only do they provide developer tools, they do it (via Xcode) at no extra cost for a basic environment. OS X is also a very good base to start developing due to its Unix heritage...
