Make is installed on Windows, if you install Microsoft's C/C++ dev stack (typically via installing Visual Studio). They just use nmake instead of GNU make. They also include Cmake these days, as it's the common cross platform option.

So I have to install this huge dependency just to use make, when my project is in Python?

Way easier to install just :-)

Busybox comes with a vestigial make. I wager git might. Those are both in winget.
