I appreciate that Windows can probably do neither, but with an almost complete monopoly on PC operating systems, Windows doesn't have to get on with other OSes. Other OSes have to get on with Windows.

If you use compatibility with a proprietary Microsoft file system as your measure of playing well with other OSes, it's unsurprising that Microsoft's own OSes come out well, but I wouldn't say that's a particularly fair test.
In any case, NTFS drives on a Windows PC can be quite happily mounted on a Mac as SMB/CIFS network shares etc. which (at least in my experience) is a far more common way of sharing files between PCs and Macs.
