Actually, consumer devices are always the first to get new features. Consumer point and shoot stills cameras were the first to get Video recording, then DSLRs followed, for example. Also, Consumer laptops got a multi touch trackpad (MacBook Air) first, and then the MBP followed, and only THEN did the Magic Trackpad appear for more pro-level computers.
This is always the case. Consumers get to have most features first, and then when they mature, they get into pro devices. Why? Because pros tend to upgrade their machines a lot less often, they tend to have specialized software and hardware that solves the problems consumers have, and they often don't care for such features. Then they end up caring when it becomes better to implement.
For an extreme example, as a photographer, I can say that the most professional cameras still don't have things like autofocus, light metering, or even electronics in them. The more pro you get, the less often your hardware gets updated, and the more you're on your own. It's totally normal!
