I don't speak for ISC but it's important to understand that support of
an operating system costs money and unless a company or organization is
willing to step up with money it cannot be expected to continue support.
There was originally a need and the money for BIND9 on Windows which is
why the effort was made.
that's an unproven claim
my unproven claim based on expierience is that these days there was a
need for named, httpd, php, mysqld and so on on windows
these days where virtualization, WSL and containers exists that need is
more or less gone

Thanks Vicky and Ondrej for providing clarity. I'll be sad to see it
when this happens but as I said in my original post I don't
underestimate the sheer amount of effort required to maintain BIND for
Windows going forwards so it's completely understandable that you want
to focus on platforms that are the most widely used and best
understood by ISC. The retention of the dig client for Windows, even
if unsupported, will indeed be welcomed by some.
I'll shift my own focus back to BIND on Linux now as well, but I'll
retain a tertiary BIND server running 9.16 for Windows just so that I
can help out anyone who subsequently downloads and installs BIND for
Windows between now and its end-of-support date.
