The point is the most are available since 2002 with Linux. Only recently on Windows. And here is argued that the special thumbnail feature was missing on Linux since around 2002.

I’m glad about the thumbnails (it was overdue by a decade) but there are many features and every new feature available is missing somewhere else[1]. Next year we will discuss either missing Flatpak support on Windows (cgroups, namespaces) or missing Vulkan on MacOS or missing built-in Android support on Linux.

[1] or not - because it doesn’t fit well. For example the weird database/library kind stuff in Explorer which teases users on Windows. I think EXPLORER.EXE has become awful hard to use. It was usable back in NT4 and NT5.
