On Linux this works similarly. ~5 years ago my old laptops did the 'disable touchpad when typing' thing, now with libinput the touchpad has excellent and completely invisible (to the user) anti-false-touch functionality. Apple has invested the time to make great trackpad drivers. People have invested time to make libinput a great driver for Linux (in this regard - it does lack customization possible in older drivers). On Windows the manufacturers don't care. IIRC MS is doing a thing where manufacturers can add some property to their touchpad HW/drivers which tells Windows to handle the touchpad entirely on its own, and the result has been that touchpads have been improving significantly over the last few years since MS is investing time in making good drivers. But that depends on your specific touchpad allowing Windows to do its magic, instead of using crappy OEM drivers.
