Windows has dll hell... so basically, to ge around this, some tools statically link by default. It's not an ideal solution, but it works most of the time... and regarding how unmainatained a Windows install might be (old installs, like Win7) or how badly updated/upgraded it might be (newer installs, Win10 and 11), I guess it is the only choice you actually have to make your app run on as many Windows systems as possible.
Since I don't do this professionally it doesn't have to run on any windows systems, I just was stuck with windows recently so I programmed in a GitHub codespace and compiled for Windows which is how I found out about all that I'm so happy not to have run into problems like this on Linux.
Linux is a smooth ride when it comes to binaries... might miss a few dependencies here and there, but all easily fixed if you just install them.
Windows on the other hand 😬...
