After Windows 3.0 came out, I think some programs came out that were specifically for Windows 3.x, so you basically had to use Windows to run them. I think especially things like graphical & drawing tools, word processors, etc. moved toward Windows because (I think) drawing programs were probably easier to develop for Windows 3.x than for DOS, and with word processors, you could get WYSIWYG interfaces, so it was a lot easier to create documents just as they'd appear when you print them, compared to DOS software.
