    So what’s going on here? Is this related to the new US administration? Or Microsoft and Meta exchanging money to silence the competition? Genuinely confused, but it seems fairly important whatever the motivations.

      maybe it’s the same reason some banks don’t work on rooted android phones: they want to prevent you to control how your system works bc they count on being able to extract as much information as possible from your computer usage without your consent

      Probably a little of all of the above.

      Folks that run OSs other than Windows and Mac are usually not passive sheep. If you want folks to just sit back and ignore what is going on you probably don’t want agitators in the mix.
