Are hosted servers typically running Windows? The Linux version doesn't download Python (generally your package manager would do that). I would expect updates to qbittorrent are also handled by the package manager on Linux.

Generally not. Seedbox services are heavily cost-driven; running a Windows install for each client would add a lot of unnecessary hardware and licensing costs.
