apple does it too, i believe, but informs via a os call if a ARP-MAC path hosts a doppelganger IP on a second MAC address, though not an error, because a machine can use more than one MAC over time to support one IP address

WINDOWS programs are far far worse for man in the middle attacks than other osses and weakened because calling https://tmobile.com in most tools allows man in middle downgrades to http (not https) for example due to trusting faked DNS trampoline chains. This can be seen in most all laptop cellphone cards (technically modem dongles) for windows, but never on mac implementations of same products.

multipath FAILOVER is another reason linux and apple allow OS to merely note these suspicious events, rather than block doppelgangers :

failover and multipathing originated on laser optical Fibre Channel and copper iSCSI originally, but now failover encompasses multiNIC world and SANS :

Understanding Multipathing and Failover: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.storage.doc/GUID-DD2FFAA7-796E-414C-84CE-1FCC14474D5B.html

Multipathing is retarded in my opinion and pairs packets across two typologies and switches, but if going to two different SANS with two different powersupplies in two buildings and using RAID-0 and a hack... it is amusing to me. apples original top end SANS had multiple cables, multiple power cords, and multiple powersupplies and RAIDED 5-0 (five Oh) of 14 drives into two 7 drive clusters and multipathed for speed, but could run with 7 drives on one side of rack pulled or dead from powerout on half of that single rack. That was wehn apple bent over backward to appeal to fucktard IT losers with amazing technology... but the fucktards still bought slower cheaper stuff from dell.

so secure topologies are a mixed bag and may depend on if a device is used for certain wifi setup protocols, or a "WIRELESS PIN SETUP CODE". wifi printers use a "timeout grant" "easy passcode" setup mode to create a crypto handshake to a router... for example. I could see how that printer would NOT at all like a MAC to change between it and some other point, if printer was using "WIRELESS PIN SETUP CODE" mode, meant for small "internet of Things" devices.

so windows is sometimes less secure than linux or mac, not more secure
