That's the point of it
The main point is, a PIC is a processor, and an Arduino is a complete development board/system - there are plenty of PIC development boards are there, and the Arduino 'usually' uses an AVR processor. However, you can even get Arduino compatible boards with PIC processors on, that can be programmed from the Arduino IDE.
An interesting fact is that the Arduino was originally intended to have a PIC processor, but when MicroChip were approached they weren't interested in providing a compiler, Atmel were, so the AVR was chosen instead - the rest is history.
Both are simply tools for doing the same job, little to choose between them - the main advantage of the Arduino is the amazingly vast selection of examples and libraries out there, which are fairly easy to port to the PIC anyway.
