Similar issue with running windows binaries on linux, and worse, hardware vendors limit compatibility with only microsoft’s operating systems.
This needs to change and vendors must be forced to publish specs and the source of any software required to use their product while microsoft should be forced to publish any documentation needed to make their stuff run smoothly on other os’.
Linux for instance already does that and linux specific binaries can be run on windows.

Also on NetBSD, FreeBSD, and illumos:) There's something there about win32 .exe being the most portable binary format thanks to WINE, but Linux ELF being the second most portable option on account of Linux being popular enough for others to spend effort on supporting it.
