Yes exactly.

The very fact that you only offer SC on Windows despite the existence of vastly superior hardware/software platforms (Apple, Linux) suggests SC Engineering has put other, outside considerations (e.g., profit) ahead of the performance and reliability of its product by its choice to only support Windows.
This has nothing to do with profit. Unfortunately most of our time is wasted on CME market data policy and absurdities like that.

We are working to allow Sierra Chart to be ported to another operating system and we are getting close to doing that. There is a lot of work to do and just takes years to accomplish.

It's been decades since I was a programmer, but aren't there cross platform development tools for C++? What is preventing you from offering users the ability to run SC on Linux and Apple?
No there is nothing that is even remotely close to acceptable for Sierra Chart. What is out there, is unacceptable performance and would be fully detrimental to Sierra Chart and would destroy the product.
