Although the conference this was presented at is platform-agnostic, the author is an expert on Linux, and the motivation for the talk is Linux-specific. (Dropbox dropping support for non-ext4 file systems)

The post supports its points with extensive references to prior research - research which hasn't been done in the Microsoft environment. For various reasons (NDAs, etc.) it's likely that no such research will ever be published, either. Basically it's impossible to write a post this detailed about safety issues in Microsoft file systems unless you work there. If you did, it would still take you a year or two of full-time work to do the background stuff, and when you finished, marketing and/or legal wouldn't let you actually tell anyone about it.

Universities can get Windows source code under NDA and do research on it but nobody really cares about such work.

"Getting windows source code under NDA" doesn't necessarily mean "can do research on it".

If you can't publish it, it's not research. If the source code is under NDA, then Microsoft gets the final say about whether you can publish or not, and if the result is embarrassing to Microsoft, I'm guessing it's "or not".
