Description
I'm not sure if it's a feature or a bug, but no attempt is made to build the php extension for Windows because it does not provide a config.w32
This extension is supposed (by Google documentation) to be available as a DLL file:
https://cloud.google.com/php/grpc#installing_the_protobuf_runtime_library

Could you please add this config file?

Start by locating the PHP extension build files and the missing config.w32 entry point. Compare the extension's existing build setup with the Windows configuration conventions, then verify that a Windows build produces the PHP protobuf DLL described in the linked Google documentation.
