> people who're "assembling" their own environments to work at speeds I can't ever imagine.
People who assemble cars from scratch can accomplish things from that are amazing too, but only 0 1% of the population will ever want to do that.

The thing is, some of these people are professional developers, and they inspire their peers and younger generations. There's an active momentum around that and it's definitely larger than 15 years ago.
I'm part of a community who does amazing things with all these fragmented parts and assemble unimaginable things while staying productive and inventing new ways of work.
The overall maturity of these small parts have not reversed the tide, but actually changed it a lot.
As a macOS and Linux user for 15 years, I see that both can work seamlessly without much effort, but Windows built on a completely different platform, can't talk this language of protocols and composability natively, or work as seamlessly.
Microsoft is right to feel threatened, because they're threatened by two sides.
