Xcode is the successor to Project Builder, the development environment for NeXT. It is written in Objective-C and AppKit.
Xcode was designed for writing Mac apps, why would anyone want to write Mac apps on a PC, when they'd need a Mac to test them anyway?
It's only after the iPhone that the question of a port to other platforms has arisen. But that would be a huge task equivalent to a full rewrite. Even Apple doesn't have the resources to pull that off smoothly.

There are many reasons. I was going to list a few, but ehh. If you want to know you can probably ask Google or StackOverflow.
