If XYZ works on Ubuntu/Linux and not on Windows, that benefits Ubuntu/Linux, not Windows. "If you need XYZ, then you'll just have to use ABC" That's called "exclusivity" and corporations have always tried to use it to gain/keep customers. And even aside from such overt tactics, it could still just be a matter of "This company's product is Ubuntu/Linux, so we're only mildy interested in putting any effort into Windows issues." (In fact, I do think the later is far more likely.)
