this one's smaller but the Apple logo is still visible if you zoom

Yep, but the Lisa isn't a Mac, which is the system under discussion. The Mac has the same keyboard it has always had, though the adding of the 'command' notation directly on the key is more recent.

Interestingly the Apple III was the first Apple computer with a command/Apple key, which then subsequently appeared on the IIe/IIc/IIIgs so that is the true origin.

NeXT also adopted the command key, which I'm sure was handy when it's OS was adapted into OS X.
