In 90% of such cases those people's motivation had been to enable their users/customer to use a product under Win, because "customers want to stay with Win" and "having to switch to Linux to be able to use this product" would cause them not to chose the product. I.e. I do not share your view. The real motivation for devs to chose mingw is them wanting to avoid their customers getting in touch with Linux.
