However, it succeeds with no problem on Windows.

(ubuntu 20.04 package manager doesn't know cppcheck version 2.6)

Research direction
Start with the linked pull request and the MacOS and Ubuntu workflow logs, especially the referenced installation steps. Reproduce specifying cppcheck 2.6 on those platforms and compare the behavior with Windows. Done means version 2.6 installs successfully on MacOS and Ubuntu, or the unsupported version is reported clearly.
