I imagine part of it is that people generally like to question (and sometimes be more critical of) the most popular/dominant thing.  OS/2 became an underdog when Windows started to become the default OS installed on many computers.  In the mid-90s, I was a bit frustrated with Windows and Microsoft's practices sometimes and would have liked to see OS/2 take over somehow.  In that situation though, I imagine people may have ended up complaining about OS/2 a lot more..
