Proper Windows support is not easy to archive. Plus with Windows Terminal being good enough and open-source, there isn't much incentive to support it.

Windows Terminal doesn't support Kitty Graphics Protocol (yet?: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/8389).

That's the one thing I always check first in a terminal because I have this pet project to run emulators in a terminal ;)

(works fine in Kitty and Ghostty, wezterm theoretically also supports the Kitty protocol but at some point just freezes)

Honestly, as fun as it is using KGP, I don't consider it critical for any real use cases.

If you need a GUI, just use a GUI.

I'm thinking of TUI-based messaging applications, where you would rather see the actual image than a placeholder like "[Image #1]". Well I admit I'm a TUI person, too lazy to grab my mouse.
