What interferes with supporting “normal” builds is the effort required to actually support them. If that was a given, there’d be no justification for us having gotten ourselves in this mess in the first place. The realities of increasingly choose-your-own-adventure nature of Linux have come home to roost, and people are quite rightfully wanting to spend their effort elsewhere.

I say this as someone that was using Gentoo before lxc even existed. So this isn’t code for “I don’t get it”.

What about non Linux operating systems? Those exist and Open Source software written for them, developed on them exists.
