Operating systems don't "win" because they make the best technical choices ... or even because they are best for their users.

  Maybe, but when all the winning OSes share a common characteristic then you cannot simply dismiss that characteristic as irrelevant to winning without some evidence that it is not relevant.

    The winning characteristic in this case is "it was already there, and it was good enough". This is a recurring theme in the industry.
