Thanks for the explanation. I guess part of why I'm confused is that they have not stated any plans to stop supporting Switch and Playstation 4 versions of the game and in my mind those are probably just as difficult to maintain as the macOS and Linux version. Do Nintendo and Sony provide support here that make it easier for Psyonix to port to their platforms, or are there just so many more players on those platforms that it is worth the investment?

Switch and PS 4 are easier to support than Linux or MacOS because there's only a few hardware variations for Switch and PS 4.

Good point! I mostly deal with embedded systems so I often forget the difficulty of maintaining a piece of software that needs to run on basically innumerable hardware and software configurations.
