This problem has been mostly fixed by newer keyboard adopting UF2: the bootloader presents itself as a USB flash drive, so uploading new firmware to your keyboard is literally a drag-and-drop.
The only drawback is that it is a little bit of a hassle if you're the type of person who changes out their macros every single day. But then again, if you need it that frequently installing the configurator tool locally isn't a huge deal I guess.

This sucks because the manufacturer has to forever keep supporting multiple native apps (given that mech keyboard users are pretty technical, not just Win/Mac but also Linux are necessary). Mac OS in particular is an insane moving target, and they tend to completely break app compatibility with every single major release.
What ends up happening is they'll ship JUST a program for Windows and shrug at everybody else.
