MinGW64 actually means gcc

I'm confused...

Sure, though I think the runtime for the produced executables is sometimes a significant factor for this type of situation, so it's useful to provide that.

Yes, it uses gcc code at the core, but e.g. MinGW is apparently less Windows compatible, doesn't offer all the tools, and doesn't work for Nuitka. The C runtime actually also matters a bit and I think that is where gcc ports differ. I for my part wished there was less variations for gcc on Windows.
