    It's probably for a simpler way to make multi-platform software. C libraries are supposed to do this, but I guess there are normally too many system-specific function calls to make porting between systems transparent.

    The screenshots, however boring, demonstrate (I'm guessing) the fact that the same program can be compiled to run "identically" on different systems like a PC, GBA, DS, PSP...

    That means that it will limit the global capabilities to the weakest supported platform.
