Why is Windows (desktop versions) frowned upon as a home NAS/server OS?

Theyre not. I wouldn't say they're the best, but If anyone says you shouldn't use Windows then they just don't know what they're talking about.
Windows has a lot of advantages. Ease of use, familiarity with most people, lots of features. It also has a lot of cons, lots of overhead (it takes more resources to do every task, less advanced features, features behind pay walls and licensing.
That being said it's a great place to start. You can run a windows server eval indefinitely by resetting the license every 90 days. You will learn a lot, and maybe upgrade later.
