correction: Apple's Mac developer program. I'm an iOS developer and I don't see Xcode 4.4 in my dashboard.

I really don't see the logic in withholding from paying members of either platform.
Xcode 4.1 was part of the Lion pre-release, so I don't think that iOS developers got it during beta, though apparently it was made available for SL users a few weeks after Lion shipped.
It at least makes sense to limit the betas to the Mac program only if the tool in question only works on a prerelease OS (I assume that's the case with 4.4 and ML). But limiting it to iOS developers only makes no technical sense at all.
Edit: 4.4 works on 10.7.3+, so yeah, this is just the usual bullshit.
Interestingly now Xcode 4.3 is out of beta the iOS 5.1 SDK is still only available with Xcode 4.3 DP3 (although realistically there's not much public new stuff in iOS 5.1 since presumably it's all under wraps for the iPad 3).
