Perhaps they are not targeting Mac users as their clients.

I suspect they are just catering to the rubes that need a little
picture to assure them that the product works with what they are
running. I've yet to see a little hardware box with a Linux character
on it but networking hardware would be perfectly happy there. So I
think it could actually be a point of personal pride that the routers
I buy don't need to be sold to folks who need pictures of their OS to
prove compatibility.
At any rate the "works with" tags on hardware are little more than
stupidity honey. I've even seen mice and keyboards with little
Windows flags on them that care not a jot what OS they're talking
to. But there are surely some manufacturers who go the extra
distance to invite Mac users to the table. Buffalo does that, as does
LaCie.
And I think I've seen more fried routers than any other type of
hardware except perhaps hard drives or laptop screens. Routers get
hot for some reason. They tend to break.
