And that is only tested on Windows versions as late as 7.

Can you run i3 on Windows through third party tools? Is not your point is moot.

I can run i3 or other WMs on Windows with a combination of first and third party tools. WSL with an X Server will happily run a desktop environment and window manager of your choice. Windows makes a great desktop Linux :D

I have run such a setup before on work machines that were required to run Windows.

Beyond that, it is entirely valid to compare features across OSes.
