>Yes, this script probably wouldn't be cross-platform, but I dare say that there's more than 20 kilobytes of platform-specific code in the current BalenaEtcher app already.

I can do what BalenaEtcher needs to be done in a shell, but how many can/want to? When you say "probably wouldn't be cross-platform" you have already given a reason for this to exist. "20KB of platform-specific code", you clearly know what you're talking about. You should write cross-platform applications.

I don't understand the point of your snark. If you're trying to pointing out that writing cross-platform applications isn't trivial, you're agreeing with me.
