I think we just have to accept that the Mac does things differently. On Windows you can cycle through multiple applications and open windows within those applications with alt tab. This causes massive potential for confusing multiple alt tabbing through multiple windows from multiple open applications. In contrast on the Mac cycling through Windows is restricted to a single application and does not extend to multiple windows across apps. The need for the Windows solution of hiding windows is not therefore anywhere near as great on the Mac side. It is not surprising therefore that this option does not appear to exist on the \Mac platform. Of course if you want to navigate multiple windows across several open applications you can do this with Application Chooser and sort out the window you need from there under the application heading.

The "Hide Others" command hides all of the other windows, leaving only the current application's window visible. I guess it is used to minimise clutter on the screen.
