Not banned, just that every build platform has to be supported and not every open source project prioritizes each platform.

Godot, for example, doesn't support console builds, only working with a third party to facilitate porting to those platforms (that may change in the future now that they're getting a lot more support from the community after all this).

Gotcha, so it's not that open source isn't possible, the industry just needs to invest in community support for an engine
