The pen may be mighier than the sword but the shovel is mightier than the pen.
If something is compiled to run in Windows, it won't just run in anything else. You either have to port it, that is recompile it for other operating systems, after making the necessary adjustments to the code and dealing with any commercial code libraries they may have used for the Windows install, so that it can run natively on them, or you have to run in inside an emulator which pretends to be Windows running on a host operating system. Something like WINE just skips pretending to be Windows and translates the instructions on-the-fly. So, it's basically emulation but without all the frou frou.
Either they would need to port the game and maintain it, which means hiring a team dedicated to that, or they would need to find a commercial emulator or commercial compatibility layer provider to partner with; playing nice with freeware emulators, or freeware compatibility layer software isn't gonna happen.
I'm very excited to see that change. I have been avoiding tailcoats and long hair for years because I hated the clipping lol. Some outfits will probably look different when they don't make our shoulders dislocate as well. I'm hoping they add physics to all outfits. Seeing old dresses actually flow, old capes flow, ect, would be awesome. I used to wear Odran's Outfit all the time but was bummed that the cape didn't move.
I'm imagine they will have physics!! I'm excited to see that
If the extra physics is handled by the client then fine. If it's handled by the server then extra lag.
