No, my argument is that GNU failed by being generally broken and unusable for the vast majority of people such that they won't use it.

GNU the project may be non-optimally managed (I have no opinion), but that doesn't have much impact on its products.

GNU the set of software packages is clearly not broken nor unusable. The vast majority of people who would use them, do use them, generally quite successfully.

GNU the software licensing model is quite popular and has its pragmatic and political proponents. Not universally loved, but clearly not broken nor unusable.

So, what are you talking about?
