I thing CCP seems to have found the right path again, at least we are again heading into the right direction with recent changes and the big galaxy spanning stories we have seen over the last years.
While I can understand that CCP is trying to diversify their portfolio I am always surprised that they always seem to fail on that in the past, and from my observation one core reason for failure is always to bet on one technological niche, which results in having not enough customer for their new thing.
So having said this, I really hope that CCP understand at some point that support of Linux (at least via Steam) is not just a cost factor but also a way to lower its dependency from costly Microsoft licenses and broaden the target customer base and stay competitive for the future. New products should be not provided to niche platforms only, but should always include mainstream also, which currently are Windows (sadly), MacOS and Steam (for Linux).
