Because Windows doesn't have a supported and documented way to do it
as far as I know. Sure, there are "shell replacements" (in Windows
terminology, "shell" means "window manager") with more or less
enthusiastic user communities, but still, my impression is that you
*will* get incompatibilities, and no serious software maintainer
(open source or proprietary) will bother with problems that occur in
their code only when some shell replacement is used.

Probably not, as I doubt very much GTK+ could be used to write a shell
replacement. (Or even if it could, whether it would be a good idea,
and whether you would be able to attract any other developers that
way...)
There are Open Source Windows shell replacements, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_shell_replacement . You could
participate in one of those projects and attempt to port /
re-implement the GTK+ theme you want. Be aware that the programming
style in such projects very likely is quite different from what you
might be accustomed to seeing in a Linux / GNOME / GTK+ culture,
though.
