This tool uses DirectX, so cross-platform is quite difficult with that. 3000 commits tell the story that this repo is around for a while. There was a time where Windows-only FOSS was perfectly fine. In fact, there are many FOSS tools where you have to figure out how to run them on Windows, as there are only Unix versions available.

And a lot of the time, the response to "is there a Windows version?" was a dismissive "It's open source, compile it yourself."

At least these days, with VMs and Wine and WSL type things this is less of an issue.
