This holiday season I was given some Christmas money, and I wanted to purchase a DVD burner for my G4 Apple Macintosh computer. When I purchased my computer, I was wise in buying a tower since they are upgradeable, right? WRONG!

If someone with hosting or email services calls where I work & the problem is down to their internet connection AND that connection isn't through us .. we refer them to the person they bought it from. If we know their provider and that we could provide a better service/support we also make them aware of this. This is very much in line with what apple have done in their case.
Apple could, perhaps, make a bit of money selling superdrive upgrades but they don't. Unsuprisingly, they also don't do so for graphics cards either. That is, unsupprisingly, handled by the few manufacturers who make cards for the mac.
why don't the makers of the drives support the mac? maybe it is for the same reasons apple don't, there isn't enough money in it.
