IMHO it is a cultural difference, not a user interface difference, not a graphical interface difference, and sure not aesthetics driven. A bit more like talking about user behaviour design vs. graphical design, this is years of innovation on Apple's side that Microsoft has not grasped yet.
The same rule applies for Film but they decide how much investment is worth by doing a few "research" studies where they measure how likely you are to tell your friends, how excited you are before the movie to watch it and if you like it or not along with few other parameters.
If those factors are positive then they put the major money and go for a full on marketing, otherwise they do invest less as they know the life cycle on the theaters will be really short.

The only wish would be easier cleaning, the rest is just great.
