Standards
Safari is the least standards compliant major browser out there. What Apple wants is for web developers to have to accomodate them, because Safari has largely been ignored until now. iPhone started to change that, this stunt will possibly change it some more.
Likely they are doing all this in the hope that their browser will eventually work on almost all sites without them having to worry about standards. For all the progress they have made in the last 5 years, this is still a company that has never felt all that obligated to adhere to their own standards(see "backward compatibility, lack thereof, Apple"), let alone anybody else's.
