You miss the reality -- one of the two largest makers of animated movies uses Linux. Why? Because they can write customized apps. They said that neither MS or Apple could keep up with their needs and that licensing was a nightmare. Linux set them free and they are at the top of their industry as a result. Your perspective is like criticizing McGuyver for making something work instead of surrendering because he could not buy what he needed off a store shelf. A majority, or close to it, of the servers in the world run on Linux. Even MS was caught using a Linux server! If a race care team only bought their cars off the consumer lot they'd lose every time -- they customize! In the Ham digital realm when a Ham does not find an existing mode that does what he thinks it should he/she may choose to write their own. BTW: Some of them are actually in Linux.
