I don't think Windows had anything to do with this. I think the feature has been in development since before and it is released because it's what users want, not because of what Microsoft are doing.

Initial Linux64 support landed in FreeBSD11 on 2015-05-24. The code freeze for the 10.2 release started on 2015-07-03.

Those 5'ish weeks was simply not enough time to get such a major addition sufficiently settled down for inclusion in the stable release branch. As such, it is now part of 10.3R.
