Does it really make sense to have etags behavior be different on
different platforms?  Especially given the fact that some file you are
working on can well come from a Windows system that exports its
filesystem?

More specifically, what bad effects could be caused by treating
FOO.EL on Unix and GNU systems as an Emacs Lisp file for the purposes
of etags?
