opam had windows version based on cygwin for a long time [1].

And software requiring .Net has good linux support? Since when requiring an additional runtime means poor support?

Sure, just like .Net ecosystem, which is totally absent on linux. No wpf, media foundation. And bindings to local facilities, like gstreamer, are lacking.
Yet the only real metric of the maturity of the support is the fact that people use it in production. And people heavily use OCaml on windows in production.
