Their desktops don't benefit as much from great power management, excellent hardware integration (trackpad especially), and general doing-the-right-thing when plugging in external devices (especially displays) as their mobile devices do. Even with missteps and price increases it remains difficult to leave the Macbook because their laptops are so good, and the competition still hasn't caught up. Desktops? Way easier to live with Windows (ugh) or get Linux working the way you want it and leave it alone there than it is on a laptop, since its environment is mostly static, its I/O devices are all replaceable, and power use matters way less. It's much closer to a fair fight on the desktop front for Windows/Linux.
