It isn't rocket science; DirectX is a private, Microsoft-owned venture. They have dumped money into making sure DirectX video is the standard. Games flaunt "DirectX 10 graphics" because nVidia is paid by Microsoft to create DirectX 10 graphics cards.
Open GL is
open source. People go where the money is.
Any in case you didn't notice, Unreal Engine is now strictly DirectX, and people are eating up that engine.
