So Adobe would need to offer dozens if not hundreds of versions of the software if they wanted users to be able to use it.
That's why they can't manage it. There's no one simple target like Windows or Mac OS X.

Weird, valoric compiled sigil once, it works on all linux. How did he managed that magic ?
And I can name quite a few other example that contradict what you're saying.
