Why are we using a different Modifiers for Android/Desktop and Web?

I am failing to grasp the current Modifier system with compose for Web in the picture. Why are we using different Modifiers while we have the power of expect/actual?

1. For android we have androidx.compose.ui.Modifier
2. For C4D we have androidx.compose.ui.Modifier
3. For web we do have org.jetbrains.compose.common.ui.Modifier in commonMain which also targets C4D

At this point, C4D has two different versions of Modifier, Which one should I use?

But most importantly, why did the team make such a decision? What are the limitations that team faced? Are there plans to merge the two together?

For C4D androidx.compose.ui.Modifier should be used

I believe that even though JB/Goofy tries to make everything common. There will always be certain Modifiers specific to each platform.
