It's because it's only for enterprise setups that use LDAP in the particular way described here. It's not every Mac OS X user, it's not every enterprise Mac OS X setup. If they had been using AD it would have worked. So really it's not as wide spread as DropBox's issue that was for every single user.

No. AD is fucked too, just in a different way. 5 minute logins anyone? And don't restart or you'll have to re-bind to AD.
