This feels a little like wishful thinking. Remember YellowBox back when Apple originally bought NeXT?
YellowBox was going to be a cross-platform updated version of the OpenStep APIs. While I remember some alphas of it, it basically got nixed.

As much as I enjoy using Apple products, their history says that they would not directly support something like this.
