I would not be so sure about "It's not that they are afraid of ... developers who might leave Windows".
Contrary to that, e.g. StackOverflow Developer surveys show that exactly that is what's happening for several years already. Slow, but measurable (and now quite some) emmigration from Windows - as a primary dev platform - to Linux and Mac.
