The GNU project's goal is about giving its users an environment where
they don't need to compromise about helping others.  Proprietary
platforms don't meet that objective.  Supporting them comes at a cost.
If this comes at considerable expense of support for free platforms, the
priorities are mixed up.

If the users and in particular the developers of other platforms don't
care enough about their own platform to invest any actual work of their
own, it is nonsensical to bend over backwards to do it for them.

If they don't care enough, why should I when I am not even affected?
