Laura ships in every major plugin format on macOS and Windows because JUCE, the standard audio framework, handles the brutal cross-format, cross-platform export. Ionut writes the sound once and lets the framework do the part that would otherwise consume a solo developer's whole timeline. In any domain with a mature standard framework, the leverage is to stand on it for the undifferentiated plumbing and spend your scarce time on the part that is actually yours. Do not hand-roll what a battle-tested framework already solves for everyone.
