There are
very few features in Calibre that are not available on all platforms (including their subsets: eg no MTP on XP). Kovid chose to support the mainstream use, rather than support custom streams (that way leads to madness and loss of hair) for various platforms. Have a look near the bottom, here:

Lack of cross Platform compatibility (this may be caused by a toolbox limitation) is the most often cited reason for
not implementing a feature request. (Patches welcome replies: is not a 'not', just a no interest in coding, response.)
The feature list (and plugin list) has grown by an
amazing amount since I started using calibre in 2009.
I don't consider that just doing a skin-change be counted as an
improvement.
