I guess there's nobody left at Apple who believed in the spirit of this advertisement:

Now that the Apple no longer needs to be saved by dorks, the dorks are being thrown overboard.

That ad is from 2002. X11 didn't ship with Mac OS X until 2003. Either they never believed in the spirit of that advertisement and the whole thing was a sham, or built-in X11 support isn't actually necessary for it.
