Not sure if I agree - especially considering not all people playing this game are playing it on Windows.
I don't think this has much to do with Windows; maybe with preferred (or default) window behaviour being different across platforms, but having an always-available widget to close a popup window seems to me to be a reasonable UI matter.
The game's UI doesn't appear to have any differences across the two Versions that I tried (Windows and Linux x86); conforming to one set of habits will make life slightly harder for fanatics of another set of habits, but this seems minor...
Although I use Windows, I would be equally happy with a Mac-style close box in the upper left corner. (I don't know where X keeps its standard close-this-window widget - although I assume it does have one).
Actually, by now I'm used to Esc. But it was annoying at first - I was used to right-click!  .
