Tldr but I’m going to guess the reason (along with the huge number of bugs windows seems to be getting right now) is their current strategy of vibe coding slop into everything

Their solution is hilarious.

i never got the need for file locking in the first place. if a program has a file open, it uusually has it in memory so changing the file is fine. If it is not in memory it should just read from the new file or ifts been deleted error out. Works fine in linux and enables a bunch of workflows which are not possible in windows. If i wantto delete a file let me, maybe show a warning that it could crash the program using it (and tell me the specific program, embarassing to ha e to gothrough a different toolto get suchbasic info).
