Because Apple no longer implements subpixel rendering for fonts?


Supersampling the entire framebuffer is a bad way to anti-alias fonts. Especially since your font rendering is almost certainly doing grayscale anti-aliasing already, which is going to look better than 2x supersampling alone. And supersampling will not do subpixel rendering.
