Windows is not great for NodeJs based dev stacks, which are very common for web development these days. Because JavaScript developers tend to write their development tools in JavaScript.
NodeJs is not great on windows because the packages/modules model uses many tiny files and the Windows filesystem, NTFS, is extremely slow for this kind of load. Another problem is compiling C/C++ NodeJS dependencies on windows. It’s possible but few people cares about it and it’s often a source of issues. And the last issue are the windows specific bugs in various packages.
The community that write the nodejs packages kinda doesn’t care about windows, and has no reasons to since WSL.
