It is not an expectation of being ported to Linux, it is a statement of fact of being windows exclusive.

It was originally a DOS application, which was rewritten for Windows, and is used in game development.

The original comment was about Adobe and Autodesk 'supporting' linux properly. 3D Studio was originally written for DOS, but published by Autodesk, not written by them.

It doesn't make sense to say Autodesk doesn't 'properly support Linux' when they have software for Linux, and one program that isn't for Linux doesn't really have much demand on Linux in the first place.
