KWrite for Windows

I’m occasionally forced to use Windows instead of KDE Neon, so I wanted to “port” a couple of my habits to Windows. One of them is KWrite.

Now, I know that Kate and KWrite share the same code base, and KWrite is essentially a subset of Kate.
But with this in mind, I don’t quite understand why Kate is cross-platform and KWrite isn’t?

I checked Build It - Kate and Get Involved/development/Windows - KDE Community Wiki but I don’t quite understand how I can build KWrite only for Windows. Building from source would also kinda be a last resort because I’d have to rebuild for every release. But if there’s no other way, I’d take it.

Are there any plans for KWrite on Windows?
