I think it would be better to ask why Windows does it with CRLF? Mac uses CR, so why would Windows waste all those bits?

Think back to the old teletypes and typewriters. CR moved the carriage back to column 1 and LF advanced the paper. So the computer had to send both. As it took longer for the carriage to move than for the paper to advance the CR was sent first.
