That's some strange logic - you expect someone wanting to compile things for windows to somehow discover a 24-year-old compiler using some older version of C/C++ and to conclude that, despite modern norms, it still works, is still legally available and still produces working binaries.
And if they don't somehow glean all of the above, you say they're trendchasing, rather than just not knowing and using something two-decades obscure and possibly illegal.
