Apple has their standards high (though I agree they sometimes can't meet it themselves).

They wouldn't want their brand to be associated with some half baked feature that either runs very slow, or draws too much power/heats up, or unreliable.

So even if another version is technically capable of that feature, if it runs slowly/inefficient, they'd not enable it to protect their brand value which makes sense: as a user if Apple announces a feature, I know it's more "done" compared to the competition like say Samsung/Android etc. and I trust that it's not half baked (which sometimes fails to meet the expectations, but still MUCH better than the competition)

The business reasons are just a plus _on top of_ these reasons.
