Why should it?
What gave you the impression that it should be?

BetterC doesn't support class allocation (via GC) yet.

In general, classes are a bit challenging with betterC

Though, I recommend reading this great article:

Because D BetterC page list classes as an removed feature https://dlang.org/spec/betterc.html#consequences

So, if classes are removed, why my example compiles just fine?

The above snippet does indeed compile and run on Windows (I added the pragma).

dmd is including druntime/phobos into the build automatically and has since at least 2.082. Which is providing symbols that shouldn't be available (run.dlang.org it fails on as expected).

The reason for this behavior is apparently the extern(D) main function. Make that extern(C), and druntime/Phobos isn't linked. - There's a DMD special case for Windows targets, where the object file containing the D main function gets an embedded linker directive to pull in the library.
