The Windows dev culture is way less command line centric than *nix, most people use either their IDE or a GUI tool.
Visual Studio has supported Git since 2012ish, I think. TortoiseGit has been around since 2008ish.
So using Git on windows has never really felt "unixy" for most windows devs, until something goes wrong and you have to copy commands off the Internet into git bash and cross your fingers.
The main reason git won on windows is the same reason it won everywhere else, which is GitHub (and other git hosts).
