Makes sense to me. Microsoft also put the toolbar with the menu for getting to your programs a the bottom with the 'Start' menu, this really should have been at the top. Apple had their menu at the top so Microsoft did it differently. In those days I found it absurd how you had menus flowing out from the bottom left of the screen. Moving the menu to the top was drag and drop but nobody bothered, therefore having it wasn't that big a deal. Microsoft had to work with IBM on the original Windows so they got a lot of things right including the universal shortcut keys for menu actions. You were never left requiring a mouse except for in MS Paint. Surely the file dialog boxes and whatnot were designed to 'not look different' but tied in to this universal hotkey thing they had going, i.e. some sensible rule so you could tab or arrow key away from the 'OK' button?
