Because Windows' a shell on a shell on a fix of an inferior OS built by a company that doesn't much care about end user experience (except when Apple's advances forces it to release yet another catch-up shell) Windows is a much easier target to mess with successfully. "Windows is more popular with users" contradicts user satisfaction surveys. In another year or so Windows will be all but forgotten.
