If anything Linus was extra-humble when announcing it, kind of the opposite of what's going on here. This kind of marketing copy would be appropriate for a mature product, as it is it rubs some people the wrong way.

Startups do the same thing for their first few years. Some companies never drop this attitude. Tesla for example promises a ton of stuff like self driving, or just building proper cars where it doesn't rain inside [0], but they haven't delivered none of the two yet.

Like it or not, people like this kid run the world.

Should we all aspire to over promise and under deliver? The fact that many do and some succeed is not convincing.

Generally the advice I hear from more experienced people is to under promise and over deliver.
