There is nothing wrong with this, DRM is nonfree software, and maintaining a windows port is good so it can be easier in the future for the windows users to hopefully one day switch to a libre operating system
Imagine if Krita, Blender, Ardour (and many libre synths and plugins), Kdenlive, Mindustry, etc just didn't have ports for windows, the windows users would be even more locked in on proprietary software, but since that isn't the case thankfully the users of those softwares can switch to a free operating system with more ease
