Apple (or at least Jobs) seems pretty intent on keeping BR out of OSX as long as possible. I think they look at it as a niche technology and not one with widespread adoption yet; they'd rather see it die in favor of web-delivered HD content. Has anyone seen any stats on the saturation of BR players (incl. PS3s) in the U.S.? A lot of users are clamoring for BR support (especially in Final Cut Studio, which again does NOT do BR now) but really how many of their clients/parents/friends have a BR player in order to play back the discs?
