It wasn't until the early to mid 1990's that Windows became the dominant platform. Even though MS-DOS had a huge market share before Windows, other platforms had enough of a presence in homes and industry to justify cross-platform support. (And more important during the end of the DOS era, no one really knew how the future would turn out even though it was unlikely that DOS would be a part of it.)
