You didn't have to wait around for the FCC to discover this. It says right on the product's page (in a big H3 HTML tagged font size):

"Broadcast frequency: 2.4GHz (proprietary protocol)"

The reason, as someone else already explained, is that Bluetooth takes to much power. The batteries in this device are meant to last its lifetime. No one else has designed a protocal like this so Apple had to.
