Because the Mac games market is dead to big business. As you may not know it takes little or an incredible effort to port a game. Most of the time when you get a port its just running inside an emulator like wine.
1. Using Wine
2. or you cant use wine because someone has specifically used PC only or hacky PC programming, like a noob.

Right now and it has always been. Mac games marketers use a (BOX) formular to decide weather to release. But i think this idea is outdated with downloads. As their is less effort involved. And "Marketing" only has to slap a Mac badge on the poster.

But why games on mac come out 2 years later, stay at the entry price for forever and have lots of bugs, is not unheard of.

In contrast, a pc game comes out first, and within a year is a fifth or tenth of its entry price. Check out the steam discounts.

I'm not a programmer but it has been pretty simple but risky for me to buy PCs games and http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/ bottle them for Mac.

have a look on that website. http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/
Their is also a wine version of steam for the PC that run on the mac. Now people have that installed and download and run pc steam games.

Good Luck.
