Honestly that's a good thing, or your program just fundamentally couldn't possibly ever work on native Windows!

Or mainframe OSes.

  • Not my area. Does compiling happen on mainframes these days?

    • For sure, IBM i, z/OS, and Unisys ClearPath have kept their own programming languages, in addition to Java, C and C++, both on their native environments as well as POSIX application layer.

      Modern mainframe development environments are browser based.

Not possibly working on Windows is, for some of us, a feature. I have no wish to support that ecosystem due to the past ethical violations that founded it, and making it impossible to do so would avoid having to deal with it.
