If only a default Windows install actually described a usable workstation. However, it doesn't, no more than a Linux install.
You WILL have to install some kind of custom software onto that platform, perhaps an EDR (CB, Crowdstrike), then some kind of location management VPN (GlobalProtect, FortiClient, AnyConnect), collab tool? [Slack, Teams, Skype, Jabber?] and then you get into the real esoterica like custom apps for CRM, weather forecasting, accounting (not just excel).
At the point that you have a professional workstation, usable by someone, the toolchain that you describe for Linux IS also in play on your Windows box. The Solarwinds hack was dependent on two things:
1. leverage of permissions and functions in o365 mail and Azure
2. Toolchain for a piece of software that mostly runs on Windows
Consider that the largest, most comprehensive hack in the history of hacks used your pristine toolchain.
Or perhaps consider that toolchains are what you make of them. Solarwinds LEM's success is based on the fact that it is a pain in the ASS to build a reliable monitoring system that includes Windows. There are dozens of software companies that owe a measure of their success to fixing the bumbly crap that is Windows logging and monitoriing (Splunk, Solarwinds, Winlogbeat, etc, etc)
I stopped working on Windows servers a LOOONG time ago because I saw them as creating economies based on incomplete product, compelled by their desire to not be compatible or usable [text log files? Ye Gods NO!]. I stopped supporting them other than occasionally sending a powershell script at someone after MS completely blew people up with an undocumented "fix" to the SCSI subsystem in Windows 2k SP5 that literally cost companies millions of dollars because "they" decided that it was ok to change up storage without documenting it in the update.
Some people are happy working in that ecosystem, and more power to them, but the complete lack of care wore me out. [It is nice to see little sparks of fun and excitement like the windows terminal project, but then I remember that it's just 'me too-isms" to convince developers that Windows is just as cool as Linux or Mac.] Hell, even the lead developer for powershell recognized that bash was doing a lot of things way better. I think the structure of the command elements is a cool-ish idea, but one that is incompatible with how people thing and more geared toward IDE's or other assistive tools.... which brings us full circle.
Have a great day... play with linux more.
