I'd say Linux created far more problems than it solved, and would count as one of the largest net negatives in the economy of the technology sector historically.

I think it's fine to get excited, but there's also getting too excited if there's no rational need for the software. Which I can't really see, since there always have been other devices to buy.

Like if I need to do spreadsheets I will get a device made for that, not demand that regulators force Apple to let me install Excel on my phone.

Hackers and Europeans framing this as some kind of civil rights or human rights issue is to me abut as ridiculous as if regulators would force every restaurant to make their menu gluten free. Which will probably happen soon, since the mental children are at the helm.
