Off course! Being successful in a consumers market has more to do with popularity. Being technically superior doesn't make something popular by itself.
As for Windows, it's popularity stems from being familiar, well marketed, well researched and a hell of a lot easier to have on a PC because everyone seems to ship few alternatives.

And here rises my frustration with closed applications, whether iOS, Android, OS X, or Windows: Even a manager can start "the project" in nearly any remotely appropriate application -- BUT -- each and every closed application includes unique limitations (not to say "bugs") that prevent completing the project in ways too arcane to explain within said manager's attention span.
