Why? Well how about because everything Microsoft is doing reeks of the comparison? It's Microsoft who stamps their jealousy all over themselves, not bloggers. Plus, to compare the differences between Microsoft and Apple to rival car or clothing companies is just wilfully disingenuous. In consumer tech, they are the giants, and they are not even close to the parity in products or corporate culture that typify the markets you've chosen. Consumer tech is not a mature market. And the differences between Microsoft and Apple are glaring.
