Also, like said above Apple wants to cut the cord and get those other 50% of crazy people to start syncing.
You still need to sync your iPhone to move all of your big data over, and thunderbolt would make that process a lot faster. They're putting thunderbolt on everything now, MBP, iMac, next is MBA. Although you're right it will probably be in iPhone 6 once more people are capable of using it.
Although I'm quite sure Apple doesn't give a crap about making accessories incompatible, they've shown that many times over. :P
