Aren't they?
I think they are not, at least on the developer side, as for many cross-platform free software projects. Also, I think there are fewer professional vector drawing programs which work natively on GNU/Linux than on the other systems. Inkscape may be the intuitive primary choice for vector drawing for a GNU/Linux user (or it might be decided by the preference for free software), whereas it may not on systems where there are stronger competitors.
I think it makes Inkscape appear a stronger and more versatile program, to give the impression it works equally well on all 3 major systems (even if it might be a little faster on Linux systems).
I agree. I don't feel it useful to ‘promote’ GNU/Linux with Inkscape to regular users, it is not the purpose of the project; its purpose is to be cross-platform. The promotion of GNU/Linux should be minimal, as it is already actually: on the download pages, GNU/Linux appears before the other systems, and OS X which is probably less supported than the two others appears last. Just because the project is mainly developed on GNU/Linux.
