Just open the page and then browser's developer tools, make it reporting us as Windows, and it just works after reloading.

Or better yet, just don't buy Logitech products and look for non hostile brands

You're missing part of the point that UA sniffing has always been flawed, and it's a terrible way to check for functionality. It's much better to test whether the function exists or does something than to try to rely on UA. It really isn't reasonable to rely on UA in the first place

Sure, 100% with you from a technical POV.

But Logitech is looking at it from a product management lens, and deciding they don’t want to support a heterogeneous mess of a web API for a niche user base that already has their own parallel tooling.

logiwebconnect.com is not some cherished keystone of their product suite either, afaict.
