That's evidence?
I also think we all need a lot of options and the disappearance of any will hurt us – UEFI Secure Boot is going to reduce the number of OS options, because it raises the price of being able to boot on generic PC hardware from $0 to $99. Many OS's will work together the way Fedora, SuSE, and Matthew Garrett are working together, so it may not cost each OS $99, but anything more than $0 is a loss.
