Well, they probably didn't want to wait 8 years. And the XFree86 community (as it was then) probably wouldn't have been interested in a huge number of dramatic changes being dumped on them out of the blue.

That's what I was thinking. If Apple had done the coding or at least paid for it, it wouldn't have taken 8 years, but the X group was so fractious that there would have been a more acrimonious split, possibly involving Apple keeping their changes to themselves.
