"We don’t see USB 3 taking off at this time."
They didn't see FireWire 800 taking off on the mainstream either but still pushed for it. The reality is that a lot of Apple consumers care more about portability (<3lbs), build quality and aesthetics, rather the outright performance features.
For Apple, they don't have to pay extra for an NEC/Marvell USB 3.0 chip and can continue to sell C2D, 2GBs of ram MacBook Air for $1299. Less $ spent on additional features, the higher the profit margins for Apple.
