Your claim that no operating systems support this seems extremely unlikely. I’m pretty much certain there are multiple Linux desktop environments that support vector based background images.

Still, the question remains. Why don’t many/most/all?
Well, I had assumed none had support since none of the OSes I use regularly had support. I stand corrected.

That said, I do still wonder why none of the OSes that I use (Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS, accounting for pretty much 100% of the OSes regular people use) have support for it.

Yeah but the problem is they don’t otherwise support a convenient desktop experience. Maybe next year will be the year.
>they don’t otherwise support a convenient desktop experience

I have no idea what this means.

Everyone assumes everyone shares the same values. I think this person is dissatisfied with the UX on Linux.
People conflating subjective opinion with objective fact is in my opinion one of the most frustrating things about Internet discourse today.
no you're wrong
I legitimately laughed out loud at this.
This wallpaper generator was written on a Raspberry Pi running Ubuntu. Which I use because of its highly convenient desktop experience ;).
