I'm no fan of Windows myself, but I find this a fairly bad policy.
If nothing else - what's not used is not tested. And if you expect any real population of users to be using Windows machines with your products, you should have developers/PMs/QA/support interacting with your products using Windows machines.
I see this as: We're saving a bit of money and making ITs life easier, and in exchange users will get a worse product.
Realistically - that's a bad trade. It is almost never the right decision to prioritize IT quality of life over basically any other business need.
