My intention linking this is not to provoke someone or hurt feelings, moreover to show what we as community or maintainer need to fix.
Regardless how you see it, there is some truth in it, even if I personally disagree with most mentioned points ignoring that Android already runs on 1 Billion devices which is basically Linux…
The funny thing is that the same can be said about almost every OS that is open source and even end-to-end closed systems like iOS are not perfect.
They are easier to use for the average user but package updates and OS updates are still - sometimes - problematic across all systems. So I do not think that the argument is valid.
