Yeah that's because the Windows key was only introduced with Windows 95, which means a) ctrl- and alt- shortcuts were already convention; and b) most keyboards didn't even have a Windows key! If you were writing an application at the time, it would have been a gamble whether end users could even access your shortcuts. So of course devs stayed with ctrl and alt.
