Isn't creating one of those Windows installers also complicated? To me, it seems even more complicated than packaging software for Linux, yet it has never stopped anyone.

Not for years now, no. The process for creating an .msi for a basic stand-alone app in Visual Studio is pretty simple and well-documented.
