Pretty sure it cost them more to keep the service up for linuxes than they got from the people using it.

  But... why? What is the cost here?

    Developer hours (and SRE + admin hours!) to maintain.

      I'm not understanding. Why is the OS a concern of this browser-based streaming application? I don't know anything about cross-platform support, so clearly I'm missing something. Is it cross-platform DRM? I'm admittedly ignorant about this stuff.

      Were they charging Linux users less? I imagine that there is an order of magnitude more MacOS users compared to Linux. How many users does it take to break even with streaming?
