Windows is installed on many computers, including many office computers, of which many will inevitably have Haswell CPUs with IGP drivers installed by default.
Given how few people would be using DirectX 12 on Haswell IGPs, the decision is easy IMO.
In penetration tests I often find vulnerabilities that give me command access to a remote windows host as a low privileged user. Especially in windows environments, privilege escalation is super nasty because once you elevate privileges you have free reign of LSASS and have a lot of options for lateral movement on a network and dumping the "secure vault".
