I don't think orthogonal is quite right either.
I think it's just a matter of being complicated when you get dig into it. Open Source has certain strategies for quality that work, certain advantages (and disadvantages), different economies which means different abundances and scarcities of different resources. This "Linus’ Law" expresses something novel about the way open source projects can benefit from the advantages of being what they are. It's not an empty statement just not an airtight, always-right rule.
