Not everone wants to pay Microsoft *HUGE* fees to use their product recognition emblems.
I don't have much money to spend, so before I buy any hardware, you can bet I know *everything* good & bad about it before my cash ends up in the register. Usually, this takes at least a month of research and comparison shopping.
Unfortunately not everyone seems to be this diligent, and of course, probably shouldn't have to be.
