It wasn’t intentional sabotage.
(a) MS expected to make money on the Mac, and did for many years with Word and Excel (well before they were bundled into Office), among others. The best versions of Excel and Word were on the Mac for a long time.
(b) Microsoft eventually released a QuickBasic for the Mac that was capable of producing apps with a real Mac UI. IIRC, the IDE wasn’t very good, but it was capable enough at the time.
