    Probably because Mac marketers never thought of it. Their whole marketing strategy during the 90s wasn’t even about what Macs or PCs could do but that cool people liked Macs and only middle aged business men liked PCs. Despite most of the games that weren’t on both platforms being on the PC side and Macs being the overpriced underperforming one (which IMO is the opposite of cool).

      I’m pretty sure Apple’s marketing team didn’t come up with “Micro$oft” more than a decade before the first ads with Hoffman and Justin Long in them.
