Why do you think they rewrote from scratch all the applications they acquired from 3rd parties like Final Cut, Logic?

You don't need to rewrite them from scratch. They've had those companies for years and it's a good bet that they've done work to make it more portable. It was already available back when Macs were using PPC, so the code is obviously somewhat portable.
Perhaps they didn't need to, but they did anyway
