>The allegedly difficult thing is to design a window manager which is
equally usable to run 'apps' on a touchscreen, desktop programs on a touch
screen, and to run desktop programs with a mouse and keyboard.

That is easy to do.

What is difficult, is to write software that the user can utilize _without_
using keyboard, mouse, or screen.

Linux software fails that test as readily as Windows software, or Mac software.
However, there are far more people who can be paid to show one how to overcome
that programming failure on Windows software, than for Mac software, which, in
turn, has far more people who are willing and able to be paid for that service,
than for Linux software. (Even gratis support for that service is easier to come
by, for Windows software, than for Linux software.)
