To be honest the same problems likely exists on Windows, it?s just less likely and the benefits of prebuilt binaries greater.
For all platforms *except* Windows, wheels are essentially caches -- there is no real reason to distribute them via PyPI at all, because OSx and Linux develpoers will have tools to build them from sdists.
