The integration that you were talking about (although not as widely supported) in Windows scripting does exist through the use of WMI or the older (and long in the tooth) COM. This does give you the means by which you can script applications in a manner similar to what is made available to via AppleScript. Since most Windows users still use the Microsoft Office Suite for work they do get the same level of functionality using the Windows Scripting Host and the Office Object Model.
Is the Mac a better and more well thought out OS that incorporates the base tools to support a more robust scripting environment than Windows? Absolutely!
I was only pointing out that Windows does have a standard scripting interface and that when used with applications that support a COM interface or WMI interface the same level of integration is available; even if it is not a polished as the Mac's.
