Not only are there multiple versions of Windows (7, 8, 10), but there are 7 flavors of Win 10, and a developer never knows which .NET version is supported on each flavor. Some users can’t upgrade .NET, or it can require multiple reboots to install it. Sometimes installing a .NET version will cause other app’s to fail, and some .NET installs can not be uninstalled, so you’ve just bricked an app, angering users.
The resources required to develop Windows app’s used to be simple such that a single developer could handle it; now it requires a team to write and test an app that works for 90% of deployments, and that’s never going to cover hardware you don’t have, or drivers you can’t get.
