I'm with you on that, but this policy is not really relevant to this
discussion: APOP is not a Windows-only feature, and neither does it
favor Windows in any way.  GNU and Unix users will need APOP in
movemail as long as we continue using movemail as the primary means of
fetching mail from POP3 servers into Emacs.
