Yeah partly I blame apple - it would cost them the profit they make at the apple soho store in just a week to produce a linux itunes - but who really expects them to step up?
I think you underestimate that task. Which gui toolkit should they use? Would this "Linux iTunes" run on ubuntu? Fedora? Gentoo? Bob's Linux? Joe Schmaltz Edgy Hoary Anal Wart Linux?

Writing it once might be affordable, but keeping it working on each distro that comes and goes each year? I don't think any sane person would sign up for that.

If someone wants to make an open source OS+Desktop, there would have to be some radical changes in the world of open source (ie: working on a project that may diverge from personal goals).
