Apple has everything to do with this. They're the ones who decided to put UDIDs on all their devices to begin with. And they know they've royally screwed up too - that's why they've deprecated UDIDs in iOS 5 and have started rejecting applications that access it. But that hardly fixes the problem since everyone will just use the Bluetooth or wireless MAC addresses instead - its not guaranteed to be unique, but close enough
