It may be simple realism.
If Microsoft doesn't have the brand loyalty of Apple, it is foolish (for it) and annoying (to us) for it to try to leverage loyalty into a willingness to suffer now for the future.
Edit: plus, Apple has earned (or otherwise acquired) a trust level that lets it ask its users to wait for the future. I don't Microsoft has this.
