Sigh … It's 2023 and somehow some people still don't know how to use internet discussion boards… Come on, you've been lurking in there for the past 16 years! The original messages in the sub-thread [1] and the message you were responding to[2] were about UI/UX. Had you responded to the even higher level comment you are referring to[3], then you'd have been on-topic… The same way, if you started to criticize Crux (the topic of the OP) at this point of the thread, you message would be completely off-topic as well.

I do not accept that discussing battery usage in a debate about cross platform technologies is-off topic just because the direct parent comment didn't mention it. The parent comment claimed that users don't notice the difference between native and cross-platform. I responded saying that even if they didn't notice the visual difference, they will surely notice the battery drain directly caused by the attempt to achieve accurate visual parity. This is not off-topic by any reasonable standard. This is merely addressing a closely related and very relevant aspect of the same topic.
