Without Microsoft setting a "Standard" OS for computers & servers PCs would still be too expensive. Apple has a totally closed eco system and LINUX/UNIX are to branched for manufacturers to install/buy in bulk.
It's nothing to do with the OS in itself(the others can & are doing basically the same), it has to do with what was probably the greatest marketing strategy in the history of business(except for Coca Cola).
