Part of it is Windows being Windows, but part of it is languages/runtimes treating Windows as a second-class platform, which is understandable but a predictable source of problems.

See e.g. Python, which runs just fine everywhere.

The situation has probably improved (WSL of course is an option now), but when I first got started, I found developing in Python on Windows to be a nightmare of compatibility problems that I simply wasn't experienced enough to figure out. Lots of things I needed just wouldn't install and I'd see inscrutable C compilation errors or log messages about eggs and wheels. I actually ended up switching to Linux for work and personal use because of it.

Python is slow everywhere.

python doesn't have the same packaging shitshow as JS does though
