It almost certainly doesn't include the whole API set for Windows. It
includes the minimal Win32 API, yes, but not all the Win32 APIs. I don't
care for your bias on RPM based distros, so meh. I respect Debian's decision
not to include common libraries under cross-arching, but I personally like
the convenience that Fedora offers, especially given all the circular
dependencies some of the libraries that Fedora provides would require if
built from source.
