I have a doubt regarding virus db files. why ClamAV team providing common

provide virus database files based on platform specific. is there any
specific reason behind this? i am very curious  about  know it.

since ClamAV is multi-platform, it would need multiple virus databases to be
platform-dependent. It would also require to check every single virus
signature which platform are they threat for.

there's no sense in doing eny of those.
