You've got some points Eugenia. BUT, I don't think there's a serious plan for .NET in MacOS just yet.
It's a long way to go before .NET gets that big and supporting it now in other platforms only feeds it. I don't think Apple wants this. The day .NET already is here in big scale it isn't too late for Apple to implement support. As you said yourself, it wouldn't be that hard using mono.
