Weirdly, when the market was smaller, when there was less money available, developers DID support multiple platforms.

Today, when we have significantly fast tools, more standards, more shared knowledge, and MUCH more noney moving through the ecosystem, yet somehow it’s harder to support more platforms.

There’s a problem either at the level we’re talking about (the mono/duo-polies), or perhaps one level higher (national economies). My hunch is that it’s the same problems that are widening wealth gaps the world over (not just in the tech industry), but I’m open to other ideas.
