Probably it's not a high-priority issue, so they didn't implement it yet. Should be easy enough to implement for someone, who uses Windows, if they accept patches. It's a common pattern, when developers think about their environment first.

Actually that looks like it's a feature they sell. If you scroll down you see mentions of TagSpaces Pro with it's number one feature:

* Ability to save tags in sidecar files

Here is their feature page: https://www.tagspaces.org/products/pro/#tagSidecarSaving

The original comment clearly mentions that feature. The question was why cross-platform applications don't set the hidden attribute on dotfiles.
