Because 9vx is a hacky dead end; it fundamentally
only runs (and can only run) on 32-bit x86. It
works because of a quirk of 32-bit x86 addressing.

Linux distros are wanting to drop support for
running 32 bit binaries (Ubuntu tried in 2019,
others have tried on and off).

Macs no longer ship x86 processors, and even the
ones that have x86 cpus dropped support for 32-bit
binaries 5 years ago.

I have no idea what windows is up to.

Basically, qemu/drawterm works better in more or
less every way.
