Far fewer developers were developing for Windows back when the SDK
was that expensive and was the only choice. One reason Windows
development has really taken off is that you can now buy Borland
C++ for about $350 or so (and owners of Turbo C++ were able to
upgrade to Borland C++ for $100).  Now, both Borland and 
Microsoft have Windows compilers that allow you to write Windows
software and which cost about $100.
