While I don't condone it, it's easy to understand Apple's reasoning.

The longer they can delay the standardization of touch events, the easier it is for them to maintain dominance in the tablet and phone markets with their UX design & proprietary apps marketplace ("those web apps are harder to use because they don't behave with touch right!").

Of course they don't want a standard yet. They're the ones doing it best and reaping the rewards.
