That's a fair take at surface level, but building a cross-platform application does allow for a broader class of contributors who can also dogfood the product.

I'll have to do another write-up about it sometime, but a lot of Tritium's automated tests are written in docx files. So building for Linux as an afterthought allows an employee to develop from their preferred platform (if it's Linux) while still getting the full experience. Also there is something quite informing about discovering differences between platforms that help you to better understand the capabilities of each.

I also do believe one day we'll see, e.g., crypto startups' lawyers using Linux. And they'll be happy Tritium customers :)
