Well if glibc is supported all glibc softwares must work right?? Patching the software to support musl would not be needed if it does support glibc

Even if it's supported, it doesn't mean it needs to be installed in every system. If the user wants to use a Musl-based system, the software working only on glibc needs to be patched. At least that's how I understood these statements.

But the Void Linux team specifically wants to support both glibc and musl

Some patches are there for software that reauires systemd or parts of it.
