Doesn't surprise me. Fortunately, I don't need it for Windows, at least right now.
But it is because of Windows that Racket doesn't provide raw (or Unix) sockets. Racket tries to support all of its features across all target platforms.

Sorry, I don't know MacOS. In Unix it would be libsocket, and if you are using GCC then glibc transitively links libsocket and re-exports the entire socket API.
