I think it's just because that's what most people know as an OS and know how to use it. Although every company in the world would save money by using Linux for these things since it is free.

It’s free to install, but can be costly to support. Both on the sysadmin side, as well as from the vendor (ie RHEL) side. This is not to suggest that Windows is necessarily less expensive; it vary well may be the choice the CTO made based on their professional experience or what the market in the area of HQ had more Windows professionals available to hire.
