No good reason :) Unix is older but yes Windows has all the complexity problems to a much worse degree.
I use Unix every day but rarely Windows so I sometimes don't remember it. Our industry self-congradulates on not using Windows like those untechnical normie companies or whatever, but then forgets that other than being FOSS (most of the time), Unix has all the same problems just to a lesser degree.
Maybe this is the transition plan we need; first ban Windows in prod for things important enough that government is going to take on the costs if something goes wrong.
Then, at some later point, ban Unix too for all the same reasons, just less magnitude.
