To be fair, it only takes a smidgen of hyperactivity to forget about the Linux desktop market.

Only if the company consists of people who aren't developers. For a while google didn't even allow windows on site, and if you look at stackoverflow statistics you'll see that Linux has as much usage as OS X amongst programmers.
As if synchronizing files is useful only for the desktop.
I was under the impression that the missing Google Drive application for Linux is a desktop application. Is that not the case? What uses for it, beyond the desktop, are you referring to?
"Desktop"'s a red herring in this context, really. What's missing is a GDrive daemon that does automatic syncing. The closest there is is https://github.com/odeke-em/drive , which requires manual push/pull.
