If you'll remember, Rémi Denis-Courmont made such a big stink about keeping VLC out of walled gardens that Apple was forced to remove it from the App Store. So my question is: why does VLC suddenly WANT to be in a walled garden now that Windows is following suit?

because VLC is not owned by Rémi Denis-Courmont, and not everyone agrees on his move towards AppStore.
