Do you really think the only options are to target all platforms or none? There's nothing wrong with being platform specific and building other clients later, if you were specifically building an MVP then this would be the minimum.
You’re already limiting yourself by being desktop only, which I have to for the time being, because of its P2P nature. At that point, you don’t get to choose what to support.
