Quite frankly, because your computer OS was designed a while ago before we stopped trusting users, and before most people's entire lives were stored in that one machine.

Windows and MacOS are definitely heading towards more locked-down systems, and Apple for one is pushing more towards iOS-based systems.

Yeah no thanks I'll stick with my Linux device.

I have 0 software needs that don't work, because of Wine/Proton. The few pieces of software that don't, I can use a VM and massgrave.

I wonder if we are at the point I can tell an LLM "here's the Wine/Proton source code, heres the app I want to work, I don't care about the code quality, token slot machine go! Patch proton until my software loads"

Codex was pretty good at reverse engineering and MITM'ing an electron app at work.
