You’re clearly an extremely talented dev, but this is an immature attitude to have. It has nothing to do with being “anti-competitive”. It’s about how a particular system is designed. Linux decided for many reasons, including organizational and political reasons, to have the stable surface be the kernel ABI. Other systems have different considerations and design philosophies and chose differently. These are all valid choices (and even if you disagree, you’re not going to convince them to change). It’s the job of a developer targeting a platform to deal with that reality.
