I want to help; I don't want to go through the steps necessary to install, run, and learn a separate operating system to do so. There are enough other things that I can spend my time on. Standard eBooks has decided that their tools won't run natively on Windows. Fine. That's their decision. And it's my decision not to install and run Linux just to help with this project.

My point, I suppose, is that perhaps there would be a larger pool of people to work on books if the toolset would run on Windows without installing an OS shell (whether or not supported by Microsoft).
