It wouldn't need to be. The application could have different UI/UX models based on the expectations of the user.

As a developer I see this as a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" issue. Professionally I develop an application with Linux and Windows support, it is a pain and requires a great investment in time. Of course one could use a web technology such as Electron but then you get insulted because of memory hogging, non optimization and disrespect for UX. Developing an iOS and Android application the right way practically takes twice as much time.

As I value user experience and performance above all, for personal projects I prefer to focus on a single platform. And so far, I was also always more happy when using applications from developers that do the same.
