   I do not share your black and white world view. All can matter. By the nature   
   of open source, Apple and MS can include Linux... and that is good for   
   everyone. Not sure why you would want to turn it into a pissing contest.   
      
   If anything, though, if you want to do so, it means Linux is "just" Linux. It   
   lacks macOS and Windows... but Windows and macOS are not just what they are,   
   they also include Linux, and makes them more than Linux itself. Which is   
   better... something that offers less or something that offers a superset of   
   that less (more). I will go with more.
