Given that OS X comes bundled on the Mac and updates are free, I'd guess they don't make any more money releasing buggy versions...before even considering the negative press...

But let's keep this threat in perspective...in most cases, you need physical access to the machine to abuse this vulnerability, and they patched it within 24 hours of it going public. That's no excuse, they should have picked it up in testing without a doubt.
