I'd imagine it's cost, right? I'm sure Apple or Microsoft COULD make a waterproof body, but would people pay more for it?
If it cost an extra $100 to make my laptop keyboard water proof, I think it'd be a hard sell for me.

All the keys are wearing hats, so the switches should be fine. Probably needs a couple of drain holes and some acrylic spray over the circuitry. 2¢ per keyboard.
Problem is, then they sell 40% less keyboards.
If instead they thin down the metal in the switches ever so slightly, then they break 2 months after the warranty expires and they sell 40% more...
