The Driver Station is closed-source for a reason. FIRST wants to have complete control over robot communications for safety reasons. I believe OS-exclusive is just to make things easier for FIRST. According to the internet, it appears that around 90% of consumer desktops/laptops run Windows, so it is not surprising that FIRST doesn't find it worthwhile to support other OS's.
