>Linux may be free as in freedom, but it's not free as in beer, not if time is money
Open source project developers which are not funded are also spending their valuable time to create something. Giving them grief for not supporting an platform (one that especially is anti-open) like windows is also not productive.
When software corporations push their software using their market power in adversarial fashion, some open source devs may opt to be adversarial in not choosing to support the platforms. It is a way to combat fire with fire.
Microsoft played major role in suppressing desktop linux with its adversarial, monopolistic policies pushing windows which is the reason why many people are robbed of choice.
I don't know why the open source developers who spend time giving something to the community should bear the brunt of evils of corporations.
This is similar to large corporations (who pollute everywhere because it would affect their profit margins not to) love movements like Go Green , etc (which are important in individual level ) as they divert attention and guilt to the consumer when the company could have done otherwise.
