Perhaps the difference is that when people write awesome tools for Windows or Mac they try to sell them rather than give them away.
Well, if that was true, then you could just buy the better tool and use it, right? I suspect they don't exist because
a) On Linux, you have the existing linker to build your better one on. On Windows, you'd have to write your own from scratch making it less appealing for anyone (only people who'd buy it were those running huge projects like Chrome)
b) What you said about the file system itself just being plain slow.
