And what do windows / linux / macos do about apps getting hacked to billions of pc's simultaneously? How is that a new problem?

If libraries didn't exist could not be created today. People tend to say that "it is impossible" when it actually only needs to be well organized.

Splitting git tech-monopolies it is a survival need. Or we do it, or we will end up with a collapsed society. Entities that spy on all citizens and gatekeep access to news and services are contrary to basic human rights and democracy.

> macos

MacOS has been moving to a more locked down model over the years - increasingly difficult to install unsigned applications, SIP, etc.

> Windows

I think Windows is incredibly impressive for its ability to run binaries from many years ago, but I don't think there's much people would point to as a positive regarding Windows’ approach to app security.
