I think the one point you are missing is many people on this list do
not have any reason for having any Windows software. Why would I
purchase a Windows program with I do not have or use any Windows
machines? This leads to the issue of why pay for a Linux program that
does not have any support. In order to try the Linux product, I must
purchase a Windows product. It isn't free to me in any way.
If I purchased the Windows version to get the Linux version, does the
license allow me to sell the useless Windows version and still use the
Linux version? I really doubt it.
