Because these "amateurs" build all the essential tools we rely on today. That wasn't Apple. I cannot really believe what crap I have to read here. Vendor lock in is a huge factor for insecurity in software.

Amateurs behind what essential tools? Tell me a tool and a name. I've been thinking hard for 10 minutes and every FOSS tool I used the past week has highly regarded and well payed professionals behind it.

Maybe in 1995 it was like that, it's not now.
