I can think of one niche use case; Houdini is a Linux/Unix native 3D graphics software which I would prefer to work with in a Linux environment, but on Windows to be alongside all the other applications in my workflow. I imagine there is software in other fields with similar situations. Note there is nothing wrong with the Windows version of Houdini, it's just Linux is more suitable for it.
