They have. They don't do it anymore. Windows NT4 was available for MIPS (SGI, pre-Alpha DEC) and DEC Alpha. It was one of "those things" that didn't go anywhere because the applications simply were not there. There wasn't any kind of emulation environment either.
To date, Apple remains the only vendor that has successfully pulled off a hardware platform change.
