This comes from the old tradition of the internet, where tools were 
designed with a global view in mind.  The new internet is market, and 
therefore wants driven, and such tools are, I believe, commonly available
for Windows.

whereas a Windows reader that makes it difficult to post wouldn't sell well.

(I do sympathise a lot with the old view.)
