I'd like to point out that this is clearly a political argument --- I can't believe that you'd honestly defend such a technical flaw. Basically, you seem to imply that Windows support is important nowadays because Microsoft has (almost) a monopoly; you then deduce that free software projects should thus abide by the technical rules set by Microsoft, no matter how bit-rotten they are, no matter what alternatives exist, etc. I personally do not support such arguments.
