I think I can answer that one. (And Jim can fill in should I've gotten it wrong)

Mr. Sachs knows DX (sans shaders then). Thus he created his wonderful aquarium using DX. Later (several years) it was decided to create a Mac version. Since DX doesn't run on Macs, a OpenGL version was developed by Mr. O'Connor and his team. Mr. Sachs still focus his attention on DX and therefore chose not to abandon it to go all in on OpenGL.

"We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another." /Robert Oppenheimer on witnessing the first thermonuclear detonation in history.
