Once again, this is not a project's activity. Emacs as a project doesn't provide binaries for any platform, and I don't think it should.
These Windows binaries are produced by volunteers who aren't Emacs developers, and the only support they get from us is advice regarding some aspects of the packaging. So I see no reason to question whether this raises some moral issues. We as a project aren't catering here to any OS, we are just answering questions and sharing user experience. That these discussions are held on Emacs mailing lists shouldn't confuse us about the essence of this activity.
