Like honestly look into it and compare 1 to 1. Your talking points are outdated.
For example: Company A - janky code, ships quick Company B - great code, ships quick Company C - great code, ships slow Company D - janky code. Ships slow
The average survival rate will be in the following order: B > A > C > D
My point is company A will capture the market and iterate quicker than company C.
Company B is what you're probably thinking of , and what many people think they are building.
Company D is what most people are actually building.
Company C will win out in the long run over company B if they have capital and network.
You will never get the chance of "customers requesting changes" if you never ship.
The company with the janky code that shipped will. And they will iterate and get better - as described by your process.
I agree with you that it's up to the people to adopt new tooling so they don't get left behind.
But from the company perspective, it's beneficial to get people using the new tools as fast as possible so that the overall impact on end user is accelerated.
An example is the adoption of CNC machines in factories. If you're a old timer using mill and lathe, you may argue that the company should not enforce all its workers to learn how to use CNC machines because you can still use the lathe and mill just fine. But from the company perspective, having you learn and run 3 CNC machines at the same time is much better than have you run 1 mill or lathe.
Any new yoga variants just always had trouble.
E.g. my yoga slim 7i had a keyboard issue in Ubuntu such that for the first minute, I can't use my keyboard. Had to change boot configbto use "dumb keyboard" or something
The yoga also had speaker issues in nixos as the drivers haven't been mainlined yet. It was onenof those 6 speaker (2 tweeter) setups. I had to download a random driver and chuck it in my nix config to get the subwoofers working.
I gave up after mic issues in multiple zoom calls or gmeet calls.
You can say it's all skills issue, but Mac worked first try.
Not giving Linux a fair shot is not something I'd categorise myself doing given how much I riced my dell xps back in the day.
But I've had multiple Lenovo laptops not work with Ubuntun or nixOS in multiple situations.

My variosu Linux adventures have always resulted in doing random patches for audio or screen incompatibility.
My windows days were plagued with battery issues.
I feel like most Linux ricers wishs for a MacOS-like experience, except with more customisation. (Which is entirely possible now with the ricing on Mac)
