Giving the Windows guys a bunch of free VST's was unusually generous. While it might be nice to be able to use the REAplugs in other applications, getting Reaper to host Audio Units is way more important.
It's not uncommon for DAW's to have built-in plugins that aren't available as plugins for other applications. Sure, Apple should make Logic's plugins available as Audio Units since AU is their format (many of the instruments were originally available as VST's under OS 9) but as far as plugins are concerned, a DAW's primary function is that of a host. Spark, Peak, Numerology, Live, etc. all have "plug-ins" that are only available within those applications. However, it would be ridiculous if they couldn't host Audio Units. The same applies to Reaper.
