I think the reason is that almost everyone uses systemd

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

I'm not sure if this counts as reasoning, more like they just feed each other, with all starting from the original lack of documentation

That just sounds like a reason to not bother supporting Linux, when Windows is so much more popular

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Yes that's what lots of companies/people do

Yeah. That was my point. It's a self fulfilling cycle of people using it because it's all that's supported, and it being all that's supported because people use it. I think that is a problem. That's the same reason most software is for Windows. I don't think that's a good reason.
