That may be a good reason. Corporate oversight is one of the main reasons the other OSs are so terrible at prioritising the user.

I love community supported distros, but I've used Linux on desktop and server since around 2000 and I can handle some issues. The proverbial non-tech spouse on the other hand doesn't care that there's a one-line fix to their problem, to them it's just broken and now they want a mac.
Huh, you're right. Maybe I should start dedicating more brain cycles to tasks on the foreground vs everything else going on in the background. :D
> RedHat so far has taken care of their users at least
RHEL was always more work on the server than other distros IMO. Fedora improved after Red Hat let go of it and is currently a very nice and polished distro. It's not for me but it's a fine distro.
Red Hat is now an IBM subsidiary. They seem to be maintaining some of their pre-acquisition ethos but it's probably just a matter of time until they become full-blown "no one ever got fired for buying Red Hat".
