If supposed world class developers working for a trillion dollar company identify Android as linux, then yeah, we should excuse them like they are a small indie company working on their first big week end project

No big deal, move on

I find it funny, white knights defending microsoft NO MATTER WHAT

Very funny, almost sad, a tiny bit

I dont believe for a moment that most devs, even at places like MS, are any better than devs anywhere else. You might get more specialization in things like compilers, but for end user UI, there are other companies much more dedicated.

Same can be said for all companies. Just because they are large doesn't make them composed entirely of competence or even excellence.
