What's extra egregious there is I do understand the logic because developing for Windows is such a fucking nightmare, that they're also responsible for.

I assure you, developing for competing platforms is also a fucking nightmare... that's something Microsoft has no monopoly on!
And I assure you, developing for Mac is a delight, and Linux is not so bad either. Windows, however, fucking disgrace.
As an iOS dev who then got Mac development effectively for free in the bargain, fucking this. Xcode is not perfect, far from it, but it is still head, shoulders, cock and balls above every other toolset I've ever used, bar none. And while the IDE itself is like, mid, you simply can't beat the ease of use. Someone who has never built software for iOS or MacOS can fire up Xcode and have something running probably within an hour that does interesting stuff.
