Because the Windows locale names are different from Posix locale
names.

if (GetLocaleInfo (LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT,

Not if you want the rest of locale-specific code in Emacs itself to
work, no.
Why does a native Windows program such as bsdtar expect a Posix-style
locale spec? It's a bug, IMO. The MS-Windows implementation of
'setlocale' will not work with Posix locale specs.

There's no generic way. Locale names and specifications are not
portable between Posix and non-Posix systems.
