Question: Why only the Arduino Uno?

Just a question, not a pressing issue, what stops you from writing this port of CheckM8 for a mac, or Linux. Why can it not be edited slightly to run on a desktop or laptop computer?

Thanks in advance.

it is only for arduino because the A5 chipset is very specific, so an OS like macOS or Windows (or even Linux) will mess things up because we need exact control over the USB Port.

what about pi pico, atmega2560 etc?
