Extra platforms mean more maintenance effort of course and desktop platforms tend to be less forgiving regarding widget differences, which tilts the playing field against mobile-first toolkits. Apple has the advantage of having visually converged for a large part, making differences less noticeable, and of course they control their platform. I tend to think a desktop toolkit would have the best chance at providing a toolkit for both platforms. It’ll have to support touch input and other smartphone-isms either way, as Windows runs on tablets, Mac users expect flawless touchpad interactions and Linux runs on tablets and phones.
