Often the anchor to Microsoft Windows is legacy. Both in existing code and existing knowledge. Takes energy to diverge away from both.
Currently maintain applications because the former developer only knew C#. Also the tools used to configure devices are only Windows based. This dramatically harms quality of the product in the long run and support.
My experience with product is design. Use the solution the fits the problem not the solution you currently know and rely on.
You have to pay me to engage with Microsoft / Windows!
