Funny like how the authors most noted problem is that proprietary software is hard to find and doesnt work well in a free operating system.
I mean, that's been a huge problem for most of FOSS history. If you use your computer for work as well as personal use, then you are the one who has to integrate with everyone, and that means native-running office and adobe. And companies love proprietary software over Open Software.
Which is why the whole "use what works" shtick is bullshit. I didn't choose my computer for some personal gain, I did it for pure politics and most firms are too lazy to stop themselves from getting robbed by tech companies anyway.
Whole industry was born with its hand in somebody else's pocket.
