"Windows doesn't use FFM"
It's not the default. But Windows, just like other desktops, is more usable after setting FFM. Instructions here and here.

I do not know if there are reliable surveys that would replace the obvious hand-waving claim "nobody uses FFM". I do know that in my own scientific subfield pretty much all the major pieces of image-display software were designed for use in an FFM (or focus strictly under mouse) environment. That's not to say they are unusable otherwise, but it's a struggle.
