Unfortunately this is very true. For medical devices, you need to mostly use certified parts. Need a touchscreen? It needs to withstand very strong disinfectants and maybe you have hard requirements for leakage currents. There are 3 possible vendors left. None of them has drivers for systems that would be far better than windows xy.

Vendors probably think that all their customers use windows anyway for non-discernible reasons.
