You possibly do, but good grief, it's a pain in the arse compared to just, you 
know, running a native binary.

Exactly. And some people may not have the options of either time, ability, access, or other resources to set up that stuff. Oh, and there are all of the open-source projects on winsoze that use native-code ffmpeg libraries....

I -have- the ability to install WSL/Hyper-V/etc but have no earthly reason to. Actually, there are reasons not to. (OTOH, I do have msys2/mingw64 on a couple of machines specifically for building windize -native- executables, and not just ffmpeg.)

Second-guessing people's run-time platform requirements usually isn't helpful.
