Because many libraries and tools were originally developed for Linux systems, such as Apache, MySQL. Then they were adapted to Windows. It is also supposed to be used in most cases on combat sites under Linux. Of course, if you are making a home page, then you can also use Windows. But if you have a large web application that is slick for a certain environment, depends on the features of the libraries of this particular build - then only Linux.

It's just that with Linux there are fewer rakes and crutches.

Work where it's convenient. And on Windows, you can safely work without straining at all. If you start changing the awl for soap - you will lose time and you will not gain knowledge.

Work in whatever is comfortable. In extreme cases, stick Debian into the virtual machine, roll Apache and PHP onto it.

For "write code" - nothing.
It is better to test / run it on Linux for one simple reason - in 90% of cases it will work under Linux. Another 9% - *BSD. Another 0.9% - the code will not work at all. The rest is wine.

If you're comfortable with Windows, use Windows. If you're comfortable with Linux, use Linux.
If you have a weak computer - perhaps it makes sense to use Linux.

If the server is on linux, then developing from under Windows is a bad idea, then extra fuss when deploying and running on the server - it will stupidly not start the first time, all sorts of little things will come up. Plus, on linux, php was spinning faster (at times), how things are now is not in the know.

For me personally, the main advantage of Linux over Windows for web programming is unix sockets. Only on Linux you can get as close as possible to the combat speed of the scripts.
