Yeah, why does Desktop Linux need 100 different distros? The problem here is fragmentation, and 'choice' and users will never begin to use anything that has such friction unless the existing system is more inconvenient and has more friction itself.

The difference is to this case of choice is that 98.0% of users don't need to switch to Linux since it is already provides a worse experience for the average user to just use their computer. Windows works just fine as the standard, if not that and they love Apple, macOS is even better; No need to waste more time on switching and distro hopping on thousands of distros.

Crypto on the other hand provides the solution of instant, global money transfer and using stablecoins as a viable alternative for those that have no choice due to the devaulation of their fiat currency, for more than tens of millions of people. Argentina, Nigeria, Venezuela, Russia, etc.

Users will just use USDC on any supported 'chain' globally; that has the lowest fees. Little to no-one cares about switching Linux distros as a choice other than a clique of techies playing with their computers.
