GitHub for example does have desktop apps that allow using GitHub for less CLI-inclined folks. This allows integrating people that are not primarily developers into your GitHub-based workflows with less hassle, and fosters collaboration across those boundaries.

Git for windows is also notoriously different when it comes to edge cases, so in Gitlabs place I‘d be absolutely happy to have developers that use that OS as a daily driver.

It’s somewhat rare for developers to be willing to do that though.

Absolutely, that’s why I believe you shouldn’t put up more obstacles than absolutely necessary if someone would pick windows.
