I think the reason is, that on Windows using a pty may not always work.
This is briefly mentioned at :h 'termwintype'. If you sure it works for
you (because your Windows is new enough or you have winpty), you could
give it a shot in termdebug with the following patch applied and then
setting the termwintype option:

```patch
diff --git a/runtime/pack/dist/opt/termdebug/plugin/termdebug.vim b/runtime/pack/dist/opt/termdebug/plugin/termdebug.vim
index 50833f0df..8236fc2b0 100644
--- a/runtime/pack/dist/opt/termdebug/plugin/termdebug.vim
+++ b/runtime/pack/dist/opt/termdebug/plugin/termdebug.vim
@@ -196,7 +196,7 @@ func s:StartDebug_internal(dict)
elseif exists('g:termdebug_use_prompt')
let use_prompt = g:termdebug_use_prompt
endif
- if has('terminal') && !has('win32') && !use_prompt
+ if has('terminal') && (!has('win32') || !empty(&termwintype)) && !use_prompt
let s:way = 'terminal'
else
let s:way = 'prompt'
```

Thanks,
Chris
