Couple things. . .
-- With the buildup and hype of the iPhone, they simply can't afford to miss their timeline on the iPhone. They simply have too much riding on it. . .shareholder interest, contractual commitments with Cingular, etc. The world is waiting for the iPhone - where only the ultra-faithful are waiting as much for Leopard.
-- This should also signal that the iPhone probably isn't running a version of Leopard.
-- Any developer will tell you Apple wasn't going to hit their "spring" target anyway. Apple's press release said that Leopard's feature set is locked in, but there are still way too many bugs to be fixed. Some of you may remember when Tiger was released - there were landmines all over it for a lot of people. Better to wait than to repeat those mistakes. But the iPhone exuse does seem like a cop out.
-- Exactly which features of Leopard are people dying for today? Spaces? Time Machine? I haven't seen anything that makes me want it now as-is as opposed to waiting 5 months for everything to work wonderfully.
