Why is it taking so long for Google to release a Linux client for Google Drive? MEGA is much newer and the maintainers have a tiny fraction of the budget Google has, yet they already have an official Linux client out while a $300 billion multinational corporation can't be bothered to do it themselves.

Why would they? Linux users are mostly the ones who care about privacy. They wouldn't use it even if Google made some shitty APP

Because it works in a browser, like everything else that google has.

For the same reason google doesnt support windows 10 or windows phone, even though hundreds of millions use both.

It's a fucking webapp

Open it in chromium

I thought Google migrated all their apps to Chrome app engine so it'd run on all platforms running desktop Chrome.

What are you talking about, Windows 10 runs all of Google's apps perfectly.

Windows Phone is just a piece of shit and they have a hard enough time supporting both Android and iOS apps already without adding an OS nobody uses to the mix.

Why did technology go so wrong?

Considering that their employees can only use Linux or OSX at work, you would think they would have support for their cloud service for the employees that chose to install linux instead of buying a Mac.
