There's quite a lot of developers at stodgy Fortune 500 non-tech companies that are sort of forced to use Windows for development. Either explicitly, or though poor enterprise support (vpn connectivity, local admin restrictions, difficult path to purchase a Mac, etc).
It's one reason things like Gitbash, WSL, Docker Desktop, etc, are very popular.

In that sort of company it’d take 2 years to get approval to install it anyway. If you submit the paperwork now there’ll probably be a windows port by the time it’s approved.
