To not enable a feature that EAC explicitly provides and would allow people to use a product, and that requires almost no additional work (since it's not linux support in general, just EAC linux support), I consider to be lazy. Although, it's probably a mgmt decision, not a dev decision.
I understand linux support takes time and it usually isn't worth it. But this is just flipping a switch from what I've heard.
- Zhyl 6y agoI think flipping the flag is likely not the only amount of work. Support will at the very least involve customer support, legal, marketing, sales etc. Dev effort to enable is likely not a factor in their reasoning to not support the platform. Even then, I would be reluctant to call it institutional laziness. Businesses strive for efficiency. Can not doing a high cost thing be called laziness? Sure, but I think it's still disingenuous and misrepresents the issue.
