Important note that this is window manager for _Windows_.

The venn diagram for "people who give a shit about FOSS licences" and "people who daily drive Windows" is nearly two circles.

I beg to differ, unless you also include the group "People who give a shit about FOSS licenses, but are forced by their job to use windows anyway"
I think “people who daily drive Windows” is an invalid set for comparison here.

I suspect there is a lot more overlap if you instead consider “people who give a shit about FOSS licences” in relation to “people who know what a tiling window manager is and want to use one, and daily drive Windows”.

Exactly, if you don't care about being included in a distribution's repository, you don't have to care about an OSI approved licence.

Installing third party software is much easier on Windows.
