2: Professional software is generally not developed for Linux but either Windows or Mac. Linux is an afterthought

Really depends. E.g. Houdini, Blender and Nuke are Linux-first as Linux took over IRIX's market share, and generally that of Unix workstations.

All three predate Windows 95, the whole PC and Windows platform back then was considered cheap toys for accounting and management, not serious computing.
