@murks @unfa @unfa Nothing stopped the commercial vendors from using VST2 and VST3 for that, we do not need clap to push closed-source proprietary plugins on Linux.

Clap is not going to magically turn the tides for this. If anything, some plugins and hosts will be released with clap support for Windows and macOS but not Linux.
That is already the case for https://www.multitrackstudio.com/ btw
