I really can't agree to that statement, especially for projects based on Qt.

For instance the KDE community has had good success in bringing Linux apps to 
Windows and Mac: Krita, Kate, and many more.

This is made possible because the underlying libraries are cross platform 
already: Qt, KF5, etc.

Many other Qt apps not from the KDE community also work equally great on all 
three desktop platforms.

Usually the Linux version remains the best working one because the bulk of the 
developer community is still using Linux (a vastly superior OS when it comes 
to development itself). So the ones working on porting to Windows or Mac 
sometimes complain that the Linux devs break the Windows/Mac ports,
but it's rarely the other way around. Especially if you guys get a Linux CI 
first [something which would come for free if the code would move to the KDE 
intrastructure or, AFAIK, to github].
