      Is it though? Would you want to sell 100% of the software to an economy consisting of 5 computers, or 50% of the software to an economy consisting of a trillion computers? Pretty much the same argument some use against supporting Linux, “it’s only 2% of all desktops, not worth our time to support it.” Yeah, 2% of a billion desktops is still 20 million potential customers, aka a metric shitton, that you’re blowing off.
