How is it hypocritical to say that things that aren't Microsoft Windows are better than Microsoft Windows?
Crow doesn't want us to classify which operating systems are superior, yet, believes that every operating system that isn't Windows is superior.
That's the error. The word "are" isn't even a part of their comment. They don't want people finding the one, singular, that is above the rest. They proposed flipping the competition. Finding the worst. That leaves no top-most judgement for the rest, no hypocrisy with that.
I interpreted their comment as "There are at least two tiers of things: things that are Microsoft Windows and those that aren't, and the tier that includes Microsoft Windows is not the most superior tier". I don't think that's hypocritical.
