Presumably because the vulnerability is already known outside of Apple, and it's better not to hold back the iOS patch while they get the OSX patch done.

How hard is it to get the patch done? Isn't it, like, removing one line?
Yes, removing one line would fix it.
It became widely known outside of Apple due to the iOS patch.
How do you know they hadn't already seen it exploited in the wild?
