glibc is the main reason linux on the desktop has such a low adoption rate.

you cant just go and download a precompiled blob from a website and run it everywhere, like you can with macOS and Windows.

glibc only targets one audience, one which can recompile its apps when needed.

What linux badly needs is a stable ABI for Userspace Apps, and Win32 is just that sadly.
