Kiwi, my guess is you've never had to manage a large codebase before! Every line of code, every port to a different environment, every third party library, is a massive liability and time suck of development, testing and potential bugs. One of SC's greatest features is it's bare bones and incredibly performant design with few dependencies. I think it makes much more sense that they continue to adhere to just the basic WinAPI so they can focus on developing the stuff that actually matters. Wine let's them get portability to both macOS and Linux for free, at native speeds, and frankly it's even superior to all of Linux's lackluster widget toolkits.
