I am a semi-frequent WAN show watcher and I definitely get that vibe. Some people will say that Luke stands up to Linus, but from what I've seen it's only superficial. I have never seen him push Linus enough that it becomes a real disagreement--not on an actual controversy like this, at least. The WAN show where they discussed the Billet Labs review is a perfect example: Luke says "well, maybe we should have re-tested" but then Linus goes off on his "$500 of employee time" tangent and Luke doesn't call that out as completely ridiculous and hypocritical.
He does voice his disagreement, but not in a way that is going to change anything.
