The thing is that Apple's Human Interface Guidelines (which define these bindings) were created in the 1980s, before Windows even existed, so it's a bit difficult to blame Apple for not being compatible with an OS that didn't even exist at the time. The early Macs didn't even have a Control key, which was later added to support terminal applications that needed it.
