Apple released Safari for Windows less than three weeks before the iPhone went on sale. As you may recall, the first iPhone didn't allow third party native apps and instead used web apps with shortcuts on the home screen. Safari for Windows was most probably mainly meant as a Webkit based browser for developers.
