I think you're correct here. Postgres has had lots of optimization work specifically for Linux and Unix/BSD. The Linux kernel has also had some optimization done to improve hot paths that Postgres hits.
I'm sure the Postgres team has kept an eye on Windows, but I doubt it gets nearly as much attention as the *nix environments.
