Rather than throwing the article away in righteous anger, consider what sort of context could be missing that would make the authors point somewhat plausible. Could it be he did not mean just any platform, but only specific type of platform? For example, server platform - MacOS isn't really a significant player there, so that checks out, Windows is a commercial player, so that checks out, there are no other commercial players, so that does not check out. Ok. So maybe he refers to gaming platforms? Xbox, Nintendo, Playstation, iOS, four commercial platforms that all come with burocracy, so that checks out, windows is a player, check, MacOS is not a significant player, so kind of check. It makes perfect sense if the author is professionally employed developing games - these platforms are where all the money is, so that's the only thing on his mind. See, not everything is a hostile dig at your favorite fruity platform.
