You're absolutely right, and its pathetic. There is no reason for anything to just "not work" on linux. As far as technical limitations go, computers have hit a zenith over 10 years ago. Yes sometimes things change, i remember when youtube's codec was altered and suddenly perfectly good hardware was unable to stream videos any longer. This was however still a technical change, as it allowed for more efficient packing of content. I digress.
What we're seeing now, is purely political, or at the very least business-strategic, and linux is being purposefully omitted as an un-attested platform since it precisely gives users too much control/takes away revenue from someone's bottom line. The same thing could be said for console games which never hit pc at all either. And the last example which i think really brings it home is that ms teams not only doesnt work on firefox, linux is also off the table. Not because of any technical limitations in the least, as an off the shelf dell laptop + ubuntu + ff will give you a working video conferencing solution with google meet. Out. Of. The. Box. So it certainly isn't technically limited. It is rather chosen to be this way to force users into windows + edge or their native app solution.
