Conda is hell for multi operationg systems projects. Its lock file is OS dependent. You can't commit it and hope it will work anywere.

It is probably the easiest way to install a lot of binary dependencies, good for who doesn't have experience with sofware development and don't care with reproductbility.

But either you're not doing anything that is OS specific (and then you probably could just use pip), or the OS does make a difference, and hence you need to reflect that in the lock file.

You generate multiple lock files for each OS/Arch variant. You specify the dependency versions in a different file (may also be in a recipe)
