And you can't compile iOS apps on Linux, and literally no one is angry about that fact. Apple is viewed as pro-FOSS (or at least less anti-FOSS than Microsoft). IDK, I'm having trouble finding answers to the original question here.

Even if you could compile iOS apps on Linux, it wouldn't be worth anything without Apple's signing key to bless it to run on a locked iDevice, which they charge $99 for.
