Thing is that MS-DOS began life as QDOS and didn't have specific ties to the IBM PC; it ran on a variety of 8086-based systems from different vendors, which didn't even necessarily *have* bitmapped graphics and could well have been driving a terminal. (For that matter, neither did the PC; you could run one with nothing but a text-only MDA card, if you wanted.) The era where that ever mattered only lasted a couple years, but more or less set things in stone; any initial solution would've been about as clunky as DRI's attempt to "bolt on" a standard graphics library to CP/M, where the capabilities of the hardware were so varied that the least-common-denominator was...well, *least.* And by the time DOS was definitively a PC-only OS and the PC had a reasonable graphics standard (I'm not counting the CGA,) it was past the point where adding a bolt-on library to DOS made any sense; MS was already working on Windows, and DOS programmers were already used to frobbing the hardware directly. It would've made more sense to divorce Windows from DOS right out the gate, but of course that would've lost backwards-compatibility as a selling point; hosting DOS applications in a Windows environment didn't become truly feasible 'til the 386 was standard, which wasn't 'til the early '90s. Kind of a perfect storm, really...
