Hmm. Speaking as a regular user of DOS… How about the presence of software? There's 30 million or so PCs out there, and that means a big market to attract developers. There's only about six programs I've ever bought for my PC, mostly programmer's tools. But in this arena, I have choices, where in the Amiga world, there are no offerings in some catagories. For example, C code reformatters. I'm often forced to move code back and forth between the PC and the Amiga, to reformat it. I'd say Windows 3.0 is a virtue of DOS, too – or at least DOS machines. It's ahead of the Amiga in many respects, even though some aspects of it appall me, from an enlightened Amiga perspective.
