This document seems to be about the machines that employees at Gitlab are given, not about target machines for testing and deploying software.

They probably have some Windows machines at Gitlab for verifying the experience of Gitlab users/customers who use Windows.

I imagine a developer doing that would have a dedicated Windows machine, or possibly a guest VM, for that activity.

You're never going to get the same coverage with some test VMs compared to people actually using the product on their primary machine every day.
