Actually, it was TWO apps when last I checked...

But you're continuing to ignore the point.

You're claiming that the mere EXISTENCE of a facility to run Windows

You made a specific claim:

'Linux's native apps for this are better than Apple-centric macOS GUI apps'

In what way are they "better"?
