I think this is a good lesson in why companies don't try to bring stuff to Linux: the market is incredibly resentful of products.

Come on... it's always the same reason: money.

Companies don't support Linux because it's not widespread enough so it can't outweigh the costs. They don't give a rat's ass for the market's resentfulness or lack thereof. The Linux market was basically not a real market before because their market share was simply too small.

There are plenty of products made for resentful markets and as long as they keep being profitable they don't care.
