popcon of course.

grass-core has 524 votes,
grass-dev has 10 votes.

If extension were used more, grass-dev would have more votes.

Windows is irrelevant for the Debian package.

That suggests an issue specific to the package in UbuntuGIS, listing the 
add-ons works fine in a Debian unstable chroot with only grass installed 
where g.extension suggests installing git:

  # grass --exec g.extension -l
  Default locale settings are missing. GRASS running with C locale.
  ERROR: 'git' required. Please install 'git' first.

After installing git & ca-certificates it works as expected:

  # grass --exec g.extension -l
  Default locale settings are missing. GRASS running with C locale.
  List of available extensions (modules):
  d.explanation.plot
  [...]
  wx.wms

Kind Regards,

Bas
