As great as it would be to be able to develop for all platforms
simultaneously, doing so costs significantly more money, and takes a
great deal more time. You have to employ extra people for each
platform, including testers, as well has purchase development units and
software. Developing code for multiple platforms and error checking and
testing takes significantly more time.
If you only have a limited amount of resources (which is actually most
companies) as stated in the original question, it simply isn't possible to
develop for all platforms simultaneously, as much as one might wish to.
