It's on the page that describes the new builds, with a rationale:

https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/ChirpNextBuild#What-are-the-
system-requirements-for-CHIRP-next

Unfortunately, it's really out of our control. There is only one version of
the runtime we depend on that works on Windows 7, and we would have to use a
compatibility library to even use that. That version will lose support soon
as well.

It's important that the build system run a supported version of windows, so
that it can be fully patched, and have all its security fixes applied.
That's safety for every user that downloads chirp. In order to do that, it
has to be running a supported windows and a supported runtime.
