It does if the target area is massively underrepresented in the tech stack in question. It's just a plain old fact that there are far more options for NoSQL storage layers built with linux first in mind than there are windows. Just like there are far more options for games toolkits and libraries built with windows first in mind than there are for linux.
RavenDB I had never even heard of before, but it does look like it fits the bill of NoSQL datastore that primary targets windows, compared to the competition though that doesn't come near to nullifying my point that it's a vastly outscaled matchup. Also, if you even want clustering in RavenDB, you need an enterprise license. There are many completely free NoSQL datastores for linux that handle clustering just fine without an enterprise license.
Re MongoDB, it's good that they fixed that, however;

So there are 117 Windows specific issues with mongodb, many of which have not been touched for years or months, and none of which affect linux.
I couldn't actually find any tickets which only pertained to linux, though maybe they're there they're certainly not as common.
