Myst was also bundled with a lot of PCs. Perhaps as a cheap way to show off CDROM capabilities.
Getting games installed and working in that era was often a chore. So when people sat down to play, it was already there for them.
Myst's sequels didn't sell as well as the first, despite the power of the brand, either. Likely because of competition.

I remember seeing both Myst and 7th Guest [0] in similar showcases in computer stores. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_7th_Guest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_7th_Guest
