Re:Why Is It So Hard to Detect Keyup Events on Linux? by GuB-42 on Sunday January 27, 2019 @05:04PM (#19014044)
There are lots of things Windows didn't fix in the name of backwards compatibility. And that part of what made it so successful.

It is not a difference between FOSS and paid software but more about context: is fixing more important than consistency?

Most FOSS is actually written by paid programmers, with grumpy managers who want that impossible problem to get fixed. If anything, the issue is that it is not always pushed back in the main line, sometimes for good reasons.
