Because I'm assuming MS invested a lot in both Node and npm to be a 1st class citizens on Windows. I was pleasantly surprised as well when I started working with it last year on Win 7; everything worked out of the box without any tweaks such as the use of Cygwin. I was free in choosing my tech stack but I couldn't choose my OS, even Windows 10... which means I don't have access to Docker. I couldn't use a VM either because the app needed to run on Windows.
