Probably because the Mac builds are two separate engines, which require 
different compiles and separate amounts of time and resources to put 
together. They really are different products and they need to be 
downloaded separately. Combined in the OS 9 engine are versions that 
work with both 68K and PPC versions of Mac OS; so for classic Mac you 
actually get dual duty.

The Windows product is a single unified engine, requiring only one build 
cycle, that works with all Win32 products. If it were possible to 
combine Classic Mac OS and OS X into a single engine, then the Mac 
engine would more closely approximate the Windows engine -- but this 
can't be done.
