Indeed but this is a discussion about Blender and you posted originally:

> Making a feature platform specific to a negligible fraction of the users is inefficient, as many applications will never be ported to Linux platforms.

All the large studios use Linux, that's why all the third party software that is used in feature animation and vfx is supported on Linux. So I'm just saying 'negligible fraction of users' in the case of Blender (which as a project would like to increase adoption in professional feature animation and vfx) isn't really true.
