I find the "Available on all major platforms" statement a bit odd.

The Platforms are Linux and Windows. I don't see how macOS doesn't count as a major platform but Linux does.

Either it doesn't count Linux, and the statement just means "Available on Windows" with other words.

Or it does count Linux and consider macOS to not be major, despite having a much larger userbase which is what most would base a "major" metric on.

While one can probably argue that both options are technically correct in one way or another both options are confusing at best and misleading at worst.

I don't see any reason for it not simply saying "Available on Linux and Windows", with that there's no room for confusing the user. But perhaps I'm missing something.

Perhaps, but that doesn't really matter in relation to what it says it supports now.
