Comment on KDE for Windows 10 Exiles – Upgrade your software, not your computerparent

At the cost of a generally worse end user experience and no offline ability.

Yes. This is a cost and a benefit you weigh according to the capabilities of your development team. If there is nobody to outcompete you, that is factor into the decision.

What happened to the customer in that line of thinking?

"Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good."

I read that as "We feel the customer be happy with mediocre"

Yeah... I don't think happy is even a consideration. Due to the lack of choice, the customer will have to content even if the experience is way off.

As long as all the competition is more or less as bad as your product, there's very little incentive to improve on that.

Every time someone ships an Electron app to my computer it feels like I am paying for their reduction in development costs with my hardware.
