How to deal with the cracking/pirating of software? I'm making an engineering software which will be both useful in windows and macOS operating systems. And the target audience mostly will have like 70% windows and 30% macOS.

But I'm not developing it for the windows first, even 70% market is there because I believe most of the people who won't buy or will pirate the software are on windows.

Is it wise to first develop it for macOS with only 30% audience (and it's easy and relatively fast for me to develop in macOS as well) or try to target the 70% windows audience? (it'll take much more time to learn and develop for windows as well)

Your valuable suggestions are most welcome.
