> as desktop Linux is a very tiny market to support and has heavy fragmentation issues within it. It's also free to use and distribute software on, regardless of the hardware/software you own. That's the big difference. Plus, MacOS also commands a relatively small market share with it's own fragmentation issues (doubly so if you're cross-platform). If Mac users want perpetual builds of their software, they have to perpetually fund a development environment. Linux doesn't really work the same way.
