According to this comment(https://old.reddit.com/r/commandline/comments/f62wlr/how_i_u..., it doesn't stop there, logic bombs have been inserted into the build scripts and the software itself to try and prevent usage on Windows.

It's one thing to state your personal preferences on a website, quite another to deliberately sabotage "free" software to try and enforce it.

That's not a logic bomb, that's a program's feature. The author discourages use on Windows, and the message clearly states so. An actual logic bomb would make it malware.
