You're asking what the point of Free Software is? The answer doesn't
care which OS you're running: releasing source for drivers in Windows is
useful, too.
(Of course, in practice most companies willing to release Free drivers
for Windows do so for Linux first, so there's usually little reason to
use the Windows drivers through a wrapper, but there's certainly a point
to writing free drivers for Windows.)
