Because we define NEXTstep shortcuts which are all on the command key,
so if we used it for meta as well they would get in each others way
quite quickly.
Plus the Mac's "option" is actually the same key as an IBM keyboard's
"alt", so when you plug in a PC keyboard alt and super do exactly what
you'd expect. In fact Apple keyboards even have "alt" written on the
option key.
And I think saying it's "much more ergonomic" is overstating the case
a little. The keys are right next to each other.
