Maintaining a huge software system for many platforms is hard and it gets even harder because ROS packages are not created by only one group of developers but by many institutions all over the world, most often in an academic environment. To provide full support for OSX, every developer who is releasing packages would need to port his code on OSX besides the normal Ubuntu platforms. Since there are not even OSX virtual machines, this would require to own a Mac. I don't thing this is feasible.
But ROS is open source and if you are missing something, you can volunteer for maintaining ROS packages for OSX. I'm sure the community would be really happy about that.
