It's not at all odd. Microsoft has a long history of breaking industry
standards in order to foster incompatibilities that make its competitors
products appear inferior.

As I see it Microsoft and Apple/Mac are the ordinary everyday user
standards.
Each write software for their own platform.
If the user is unable to open a file with one program surely they have
the acumen to try other programs ?

And yes I also use Linux.
