We don't list which of the Unix-like platforms support the respective options, but I suspect that it's all of them in practice? (Otherwise we should be more explicit.) So I think calling out Windows explicitly is sensible, also considering that the first two settings are supported on Windows but the latter two are not.

+1.

Small nit:

"which does not include Windows" =>
"which is not supported on Windows"

(in two places)

Probably, but I see language like this:

"It is only supported on systems where TCP_USER_TIMEOUT is available; on
other systems, it has no effect."

If this is really only unsupported / has different settings on Windows,
I think it's OK to call that out. The original gripe was about
readability, but if we think the description in the other settings is no
clear enough, we can edit it.
