I was on a course last year and was amazed to learn that windows are

I think the guy who gave the quote has got it right.

I used to handle claims for one of the largest national double glazing
companies. A lot of their "surveyors" didnt seem to know that some
window frame parts were load bearing. Acrow props don't fit in with
most peoples decor.

And even if they did, the new plastic frames won't carry the load like the
wooden frames which they replace!
