If you are writing code targeted for Windows, I think you are very likely to have an MSDN subscription of some sort if your package includes C code. I'm sure it's not 100%, though.
My experience with distributing distributions-with-extensions indicates that the vast majority of Windows developers who are "downstream" users for those distributions *cannot* build them from source: if there is no MSI / bdist_win (maybe now wheel), they won't use the project. (Note that "having an MSDN subscription" is not the same as "knowing how to configure which compiler such that it can bulid extensions against an installed Python binary").
