It's not as easy as that, though. Older Python versions require a specific MSVC option for building extension modules, so using a newer MS compiler is not an option here. While MinGW *is* an option, I assume that MSVC is a lot easier to set up on Windows, so it's not a simple click-and-forget option but more of a try-to-make-it-work-if-you-really-want-to-use-it option, especially when also compiling against other external libraries which users may or may not build from sources.
