Sometimes because APIs? Back when I had a Mac forced on me I was surprised how fast you can discover files and software, something windows back then simply has not managed to offer via their API. The 'finder' or whatever that tool was called simply felt wrong on windows, nothing like the original. One different example may is the gnome shell desktop. Many of us who use it have basically overcome the win95 approach of desktop design. There is as far as I know no equivalent on windows or Mac. And a port would not be possible as you can't replace their window managers. Then there is the whole Linux standard toolset, that yes works on windows these days, but obviously feels very foreign and doesn't integrate well to the system. It's not only a matter of porting software when some things are so fundamentally different
