OK, for libraries that are not well supported on all platforms, that makes sense.

Yeah, and because Windows supports basically nothing out of the box except its own OS libraries (e.g. Win32 or WinRT), that means not supporting anything other than C bindings to the OS functions and leaving all other C bindings to something outside of the standard library like Deimos. But if we promote deimos properly (and dub will probably help with this), we should be able to make people aware of where they can find bindings to C libraries and make it less likely that people will reinvent the wheel in D if it's not actually worth doing (though in some cases it is worth doing - e.g. thanks to slicing, well-written D parsing libraries are likely to beat any C/C++ parsing libraries that operate on null-terminated strings).
