A lot of it has to do with the fact that SGI was never really forthcoming
about a lot of low-level hardware details, so (last I saw) you could run
IRIX on some SGI hardware, but you were limited to console text and no GUI.

As others have stated, SGI hardware was built to run IRIX, and IRIX was
written to run well on SGI hardware.
