i think most of it stems from binutils tools being geared towards linux
driver development ? and since noone before has shown much interrest in
developing drivers for windows using the gnu tools. I also think that
there might be some pitfalls -> incompatible exception models for one
(most mingw based compilers today use dwarf unwinders for 32 bit maybe a
few who use sjlj) the problem with that is that atleast 32 bit windows
cannot do anything with this exception model sjlj is a little better in
that regard but still. If done in pure C or asm it could work if those
options were avaliable but it does limit the scope i think.

And without relocation info in PE binary, it is not possible to

I don't know about the rest, but this one sounds familiar to me. But
IIRC this one was fixed semi-recently (1-2 years ago), while making
--dynamicbase the default.
I think it was fixed in this binutils commit:
commit 514b4e191d5f46de8e142fe216e677a35fa9c4bb

Change the default characteristics of DLLs built by the linker to
more secure settings.
This commit is included in binutils 2.36 and later.
