I wouldn't quite say it's deliberate, but RMS fairly clearly does not
care about Windows or other non-free software. He probably wouldn't go
out of his way to make things difficult on Windows, but I'm reasonably
sure he wouldn't expend any effort to make things easier. He wants
everyone to stop using Windows.
The pdf version is easy to generate *if* you already have the right
infrastructure, and I presume it will become available, which means
Windows users can use it directly.
(Please do not turn this into a debate about the merits of his
opinions.)
