Should we consider dropping Windows support?

I am now wondering if there is any more need for us to continue Windows
platform support, now that both the major backer and VS 2019 support are
gone?

I think it is self-evident that our maintainer resources are extremely
limited, with very limited corporate backing, which would demotivate me
from supporting this platform.

I think we should consider the Cordova CLI telemetry to see how many users actually use the Windows platform. Sombody with experience with the data gathered should find a percentage there.

Personally for me I never used the Windows platform or touched it even a little bit because I lack knowledge and a development environment. I would support dropping it.
