Did apple leave the 3rd antenna out on purpose?

Now that is has been determined that Verizon and sprint will not be able to support simultanous *voice and data on the iPhone 5 (even in LTE) because apple did NOT add the 3rd antenna (like Samsung and others did to work on CDMA).*
The reason apple said they did this was for manufacturing reasons.*

Do you feel apple did this for manufacturing reasons? Or to spite Verizon for bad mouthing the iPhone for so long (if you ever called or stopped into a Verizon store they always steer you away from the iPhone)? *

I doubt it has anything to do with verizon bad mouthing the iphone 3-4 years ago.
They are now partners and work together.
Its more of a business decision with whats easier, smaller, cheaper for Apple than trying to punish Verizon or Sprint.
