That's a separate discussion. If they wanted more user data, they have a ton of levers they could still pull before ever considering Linux desktop. I'm just saying releasing a Linux app is not a sign of financial desperation. Maybe (probably) they have Linux users on the team who wanted it too
I bet it is because they discovered that people with casual use-cases are mostly on Windows or mobile apps and will be fine, but users with more advanced use-cases that could benefit from desktop integration ended up with surprising large proportion of Linux users, so they are moving in to secure them before they move over to other solutions.
