Apple had (has?) Cocoa ported on Windows actually, so whatever they could so on macOS, they could do on Windows as well. Cocoa as such is cross-platform.

It was a product briefly. OPENSTEP Enterprise. There was talk of selling licenses to distribute but that never happened

Looking at the Apple Music app for Windows quickly, it does appear Apple has done some porting of their APIs to Windows.

Apart from the already mentioned OPENSTEP for Enterprise, see also here:

Basically, it was called Yellowbox, but it didn’t officially survive the release of Mac OS X IIRC. But Apple was at least still using parts of it for some Windows ports back then I believe.
