KDE Connect is a wonderful piece of software, and works on more than just KDE! Most distros are supported, I believe.

KDE Connect works on Windows, and I think mac too. I get the feeling that it's really just people making stuff for themselves and sharing it with the world, and not trying to "win" in some fashion.
It's still limited by the features the OS supports. For example, on Windows you can't mount the phone's filesystem wirelessly.
If someone puts in the work, KDE Connect uses sshfs behind the scenes and sshfs is available for Windows. Don't know about licensing, though.
Wow, you can mount the phone's filesystem wirelessly with it? That's just plain amazing!
You can mount anything WebDAV, Samba, NFS, or SSH accessible, so that doesn't strike me as something new or unexpected, but of course it's still useful.
