How did Windows end up with batch as its primary console scripting language while UNIX systems ended up with bash and shell?

Batch was inherited by MS-Windows from MS-DOS and has mostly been on ignored by Microsoft.  They are now pushing Powershell to act as a text shell and a scripting language.

Text shells were added on top of the UNIX core from the beginning and are still being updated.  Bash is one of many shells supported by UNIX systems.  UNIX style shells can also be added to Windows system using Cygwin and other programs.
