Forcing you to drop everything and do it Apple's way is not friendly.

Forcing you to buy specific hardware and banning virtualization to do builds is not friendly. Cloud builds is a huge pain. You essentially have to rent full macs from MacStadium.

Last time I checked one was forced to buy PCs to develop for Windows, buying Android phones to develop for Android,....

You can compile Windows and Android apps on Macs, Windows, CromeOS and Linux. There's no XCode like restriction and there's not the same OS virtualization restriction that required a hardware purchase.

Yeah, I can develop and test for both platforms on a machine with Linux installed so your whataboutism is both disingenuous and factually incorrect.
