Apple pushed compressed disk images (.dmg) early on as the preferred way to distribute software on Mac OS X, so StuffIt wasn't necessary.

Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) introduced native .zip support, and that seems to have largely taken over these days. I wonder how much of that is due to it being easier for CI systems to produce .zip archives rather than DMGs.
