I hope that long term the browser gets first class Windows support (currently it's via linux running under WSL), just because broad reach is best for longevity/sustainable relevance.

If you build for a particular shape/character of OS (linux/BSD as it currently stands) then a lot of the abstraction that would be needed for a truly "cross-platform" app doesn't happen.

Absolutely. As a great example, code that was architected to use either poll/epoll/kqueue/etc and IOCP under Windows was in a great position to just adopt io_uring without much rearchitecting!
