The same was systemd did? The force of a multi-billion dollar company, where profit is far more important than doing it right?
Linux and OSS software became what it is, became the stable, secure powerhouse it is, literally dominating every aspect of computing, because profit was originally less important.
Look at Debian, which only ships when ready, and never ever to a fixed deadline.
Yet today, almost all private corps take and take and take, without every contributiong code and workers back.
Look at Ubuntu, a distro which literally could not even remotely exist without Debian, from which most of it is derived, and rebased to constantly.
To Ubuntu, a great leech of the OSS world, it is more important to give a crappy experience(snaps), than use Firefox LTS, for example.
So, do you think the adoption of systemd was motivated to a great extent by the influence of commercial companies' interest? Would you say that's true for distributions like Debian, which you gave as an example?
I'm not being facetious, it's just that this aspect has not been described to me so far, IIRC.

Good grief.
