I expect that's only partially true - while I'm sure someone at AWS and GCE has spent way too much time negotiating terms with Microsoft, anyone can download the RTM bits, and either run it as trial for a limited time or punch in their code, after all. Note that Triton has one, (but only one) listed in https://docs.joyent.com/public-cloud/instances/virtual-machines/images/windows. More likely it's a lack of emphasis on hardware VM's, and demand for Windows especially.
Though deprecated, https://docs.joyent.com/sdc6/working-with-images/how-to-create-a-windows-virtual-machine-image looks like it will get you started.
