Hot take: but I think it makes sense. If anyone would pay for a closed source editor it's mac developers hence it made sense to chose that as your first platform to support, especially considering that they are a small startup. I don't use mac either but I think they made the right choice from a business standpoint when they were still closed source.

Hence the wording, right decision back when they were closed source :)

Well yeah, I guess mac users are more used to paying for things, that's true.
