Because any system that requires special effort on the part of
developers to make applications accessible will not get many accessible
applications made for it.

Other systems' accessible applications may be inferior in some way due
to the fact they don't have these special APIs, but since no effort is
required by the application developers, the sheer volume of accessible
applications outweighs that.
