    I don't think it really needs to be more difficult, although it does double your testing/QA.

    Platform-independant things like SDL, OpenGL, and OpenAL work quite well on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux... but almost nobody seems to want to use them when developing a commercial game. Know anyone using OpenGL for a game that isn't based on one of id's engines?
