I’ll disagree with you- Linux very much took off because it’s license is cost free and there was/is an influential FLOSS software philosophical movement.

Sure that is why people buy macs instead of supporting Linux OEMs, and are everywhere to be seen at FOSDEM.

Where are those philosophers?

I would like to know where would Linux be without Intel, Compaq, IBM and Oracle's money that started being pumped around 2000.

Even Wikipedia mentions it.
