No need: the bios can present different acpi tables depending on the OS who is asking for them. all it takes is a switch (case when..statement.

So there was no reason whatsoever to remove the code.

Because so many BIOSes provide completely broken ACPI tables to non-Windows OSes, I think Linux reports itself as being Windows to the ACPI code these days. So no, it probably can't.
