Can windows devs provide us with a visual studio sdk in a tarball/zip form?

Currently, in order to cross compile to windows properly we either download visual studio in a windows machine, copy it's contents to our machine and pass /winsysroot to clang-cl or it's equilevent gnu flag.

Or we use msvc wine to download using wine and deal with capitalization issues.

Why can't windows devs provide us with something similar to msvc wine? It would really simplify getting sysroots to setting up your toolchain.

I filed a ticked to but didn't heard a reply. If anyone here can raise awareness on this issue it would help the whole community.
