  1. A lot of people use Discord only from their phones. I vastly prefer using a PC so I can't imagine why anyone would opt in to using phones only, but many people do. This is not an alternative for those people if it can only be downloaded on a PC.

  2. Come on man, no one is going to use some Windows-XP-ass program like that lol

Sir, this is the fediverse, we all have xp-ass programs running on our PCs, despite them being linux.

Second, people just might have to change how they do things slightly (gasp!). They might even have to....LEARN something new!
