macOS Has anyone else decided to only develop for Apple platforms?

[Cromulent]

I've recently switched over to Apple-only devices. When I bought all the devices my plan was to make cross-platform apps on my Mac Studio but as I have learnt more about Apple devices I've changed my mind and now I want to concentrate on only macOS, iOS and iPadOS (and of course web development still).

Has anyone else decided to go this route or do you still develop for Android, Linux and Windows as well?

If you’re a professional developer. Why would you cut off the majority of customers?

I wouldn't call myself a professional developer. I want to be one but I think I need to limit what my goals are.

If you are using Swift / AppKit / iOS or objective C you have to start from scratch basically.

Apple gives you a LOT of frameworks that lets anyone punch above their weight class.

Windows has a lot of the same frameworks, and you have to learn and code those from scratch.

It may not even be worth it financially as well. depends on the app.
