If I may weigh in on the matter as an outsider, if we consider "The Django Project" as a "business", insofar as it aims to have as many users and be as ubiquitous as possible, there's considerable value in having MSSQL included in core. If it were up to me, I would develop on Linux using postgres and host everything on Heroku, but at work I'm restricted to corporate rules, MS SQL or Oracle, and Windows. I have a strong feeling that by embracing Windows as a first-class platform for developing and running Django, we're enabling current and future users to easily integrate the framework in existent business infrastructure, which can only be seen as a good thing for the project.
