They have forced systemd despite feedback and genuine concerns.

They have forced fake sudo and uutils the same way.

So, ideology over merit. That doesn't mean that all of the Ubuntu devs are this way, but this means that the company is consistent in its ways to hurt Linux.

“Hurd Linux”? Maybe leave that judgement to Torvalds.

Canonical is a company they do what the CEO wants. And you are free to do what you want.

Quick question: are the fruits of your labor mostly given away for free?
