An OSX tablet require a lot more PC components, Not only it has to be bigger, it has to have intel CPU, this means more expensive for APPLE to make. At least 849 USD for the basic model.
I am sure they have tested the idea in the labs with prototype hardware, as we found native support for intel atom in the OSX code.
However, it is highly likely the idea does not fit Apple's business model plus a load of techical issues in the way for a useful Tablet only MAc. Therefore a Phone OS model got the green light, if it does well, OSX 12 inch plus model may be next...
