Correct, Windows started off on four platforms so the intimacy of VMS with the VAX was just not there. But VMS was a lot farther away from Alpha too.

Most operating systems are not closely tied to a specific platform.   And in the case of VMS, the Alpha architecture had some specific attributes that were meant to make porting VMS easier.
