The LilyPad app was suffering from multiple issues in addition to being 
too minimalistic to be usable, and that is why it has been dropped in 2.23.

Speaking for myself, it's the first time I hear about it (or I do not 
remember the previous discussions). Re "this is pretty fundamental": 
what conclusion do you draw from it? Keeping things working for 
different systems is just a lot of effort. Do you volunteer to go update 
the installation instructions for the new binaries 
(https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/6310) and test them on 
Linux + macOS + Windows? That would be very welcome (no irony intended).

Thanks,
