Apple rolled out, unexposed to the user, experimental NTFS write support, and then pulled it. That isn't the same as turning it off, as if it has always had full read/write and then they pulled it. For as long as I can remember, you have had read access to NTFS drives in OS X out of the box, which is more than you can say about HFS+ and Windows.
NTFS is MS's proprietary file system, and it is somehow Apple's fault that you don't have write support in OS X, when the opposite is equally true in Windows? Is it still Apple's fault that you can't read/write to HFS+ in Windows? How about ext4, is that Apple's fault too? ReiserFS? If I want to read/write Reiser on Win95, should I complain to Apple that there is no support for it?
Listen, if you want to say that Apple is being a jerk for not offering up their HFS+ driver to MS for them to build into the OS, but instead only offer it to their paying customers running Boot Camp, then I cannot wrap my head around why the onus to provide NTFS support would still fall to Apple, and not MS. That's my point.
And if you somehow think that Apple should be expected to do both sides, then that just backs up the point made in the 128GB iPad thread, where it doesn't matter in the least what Apple does, it will apparently not be enough, and it will piss people off.
They could offer free MacBook Airs to everyone in the US (seriously, they probably could) and people would be pissed that they were MacBook Pros.
