Have you ever been disappointed with Linux? (libretechni.ca)

Personally I haven't. While Linux is imperfect, choosing the right distro makes the rest of the experience straightforward. And with it's whole complexity, I find Linux more user friendly than Windows. Even driver issues, broken shadow file ownership and KDE specifics only made me more confident about my choice to use Linux after I solved everything.

Not supporting it forces all other developers to spend their time integrating their own client side decorations just so users can move/close a window in someone else's desktop environment. (example: https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-408#%3A%7E%3Atext=Client-side+window+decorations)

This kind of things is handled directly at an engine or toolkit level - so no your average developer won't give a fuck. And for those that are reinventing the wheel there's libdecor (official gnome support btw) which your factorio developer is using.
