Based on my own experience with C/C++ projects are built with the assumption that you are on Linux. You have to do quite a bit of fangling to get it working with Windows, that it isn't worth the time. I don't want to setup mingw or cygwin to get things working for one weird library that's included. I don't have a requirement to build for Windows, so I will always just avoid it. I think Microsoft is making strides in developer experience, but I think it also sees the signs that Linux/Containerization is the way forward thus why they built WSL. Azure itself is over 50% Linux now too.
