You misattribute to malice what can readily be explained by

The reason for this is simple, its much easyer and cost-efficient to write a configuration GUI for windows (or X) then for a clean bootup environment, for instance you don't have to develop your own toolkit.... offcorse I wonder how are they going to solve problems such as misconfigured primary IDE drive...
