X11 was the only environment that did server side decorations.

Both win32 and macos draw decorations client-side. Even if you don't handle the respective messages in your event loop, the libraries that you linked to, do.

Server-side decorations are hard. You cannot properly synchronize two processes to draw perfect frame. When a single process is responsible, it is easy.
