Yes there is: separation of concerns.
The Microsoft stuff is a separate porting layer,
like gnulib, and like gnulib it shouldn't
be in the same source directory as the main code.

For example, I commonly use 'grep' to scan code,
and I'd rather not have to plow through the
Microsoft-specific stuff when I do something like
"grep size_t *.[ch]".
