I have to agree with you (and Jobs) here. The Windows key is related to Windows functions. I think using the Windows logo I this instance is particularly apt. As you pointed out, the Command key is really a very generic key and has no particular affinity to Apple or the OS itself.
I haven’t used Windows 11 yet, but the Windows key has become much more associated with premier Windows features beyond initially the start menu. Windows+G opens the integrated gaming experience (if you’ve enabled it, I believe) and even Windows+tab gives you a similar, but more modern experience over alt+tab. Windows+v gives you an expanded clipboard view and I think this may be where the line begins to blur a bit, but it’s still the improved Windows version of the paste command that is essentially the same across most OSes.
It has its utilitarian uses such as window management with Windows+arrow key, but that of course is an OS level action.
