Sensational title but most people have been asking for this change. Also not sure why it's upsetting. I'm guessing the Apple bots that got purged have found a new home?
Hope you don't mind if I but in but yeah. Anything audio related is best kept on windows. Even with native developer adoption aside you still have to deal with stability issues and dealing with ALSA as opposed to ASIO is a real frustration point. Considering how often I find myself having some critical system issue on (insert distribution of your choice) when on the clock with the client in the studio, or even worse, on a gig where there is 0 time to troubleshoot software. Not to mention the solution for these issues typically involves having to reinstall the entire OS, this would require a lot of people to spend a whole heap of time and energy reinstalling, activating, and transferring settings back for their DAW's, plugins, and hardware.
Are you saying IBM isn't innovative? Dude, they like, effectively invented computers. The stuff they are doing with power10, their big mainframe systems and quantum computers (which I'm not sure if you are aware, aren't profitable at all). If anything I would say IBM is the company that is innovating, nobody else is getting nearly as far in the future as they are.
