This would be the problem; you treat Linux as a platform that one is supposed to love or not love as a hole.
Linux is not a platform; it s a component shared between a great many different platforms that are often quite far apart from one another.
These platforms often also share other things, or not, and don't Windows and FreeBSD also share several components?
I've noticed a common belief that completely unrelated, independently started and operated platforms have an obligation to coöperate because they share a single component, which most of them also heavily patch and modify.
