Pure speculation, but I bet it's a combination of:

* Lack of a windows machine to test on

* Forgetting to update the site when a Windows build became available.

> With, among others, a file called 'Min-v1.6.3-win32-x64.zip'

"If it compiles, it is good; if it boots up, it is perfect"? Just because the build has a Windows target doesn't mean it's a supported platform.

That ignores the "We target one random Linux distribution" thing and kinda doesn't address the point that Electron is cross-platform already. I would expect an Electron app to work where Electron works, but admit that I haven't targeted it. Any input on why that might not be the case would be appreciated.

Electron main selling point is being cross platform.

Having it only Ubuntu/macOS seems counter-intuitive.
