can target MacOS/iOS and Windows x64 from the same compiler chain.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical

being a monopolist (I personally wish they'd been broken up...), it
Then they would be the TWO largest software companies. (think back to
ALaska's comments to Texas half a century ago)
