That's because MS made a irrrcoverable level of mistake over a decade. They wanted IE6 to die in favor of their proprietary platform.

Apple did learn from this mistake and kept a minimal level of investment as well as prohibited competition via full control of App Store, which effectively forced most websites to support WebKit. Even though they did not invest that much on Safari over a similar length of period through these ways and still maintains the lead on MacOS. Which in fact proves my point.
