The ST's were a whole lot less expensive than Macs of the day and also offered a GUI. The Atari TOS, that's Tramiel Operating System, was pretty good and apparently not all that difficult to program. There was a hardware accelerator made by one David Small that enabled the ST to run rings around Macs or DOS machines of the period in terms of speed, thus the choice of those STs.
