> For whatever reason, the cathedral can make a much better GUI than the bazaar.

Er. Given Windows 8-11, the cathedral can also do so much worse. I'm not sure that's meaningful.

They can, yet the hoards of migrations that keep being announced since Windows XP never come true, regardless how bad Apple, Microsoft and Google might release some of their OSes.

This is because they are all monopolies.

My employer only allows Windows for PCs and iOS for phones.

If i buy i smartphone at a resonable price there is only Android. (no i will not pay 500 Euros for a thing that costs 50 Euros).

How many games written with the NDK in C/C++/OpenGL ES/Vulkan/OpenSL get ported from Android or ChromeOS into GNU/Linux?

Almost none, instead Windows gets kind of emulated via Proton, thus making irrelevant any business reasons to target GNU/Linux directly.
