If you mean this:

  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/porting/modifying-winver-and-win32-winnt?view=msvc-160

Then that's not my reading of it, because it begins with only the
value for Windows 10, without any reference to MSVC header files.  And
this page:

  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winprog/using-the-windows-headers

shows the values in a way that doesn't bind them to any particular
MSVC header file.

And that's even before we consider the fact that the value is
available in quite a few free software implementations, and we can
take it from there instead.

So I don't think I see the problem that bothers you.
