Compiling Thunderbird should be very easy indeed when we use Linux

You expect _users_ of tools to use a _development_ environment to fix
*inherent* shortcomings of a tool?

On Linux, there is no “development environment” versus “user environment”.
The same packaging tools work with both source code and built binaries.

Platforms like Microsoft and Apple try to build a wall between two
separate modes of using the system; Linux doesn’t.
