Where is macOS running on a raspberry pi? Where is macOS running on your home router? On your watch? On your supercomputer? GNU/Linux does just fine. macOS suits one use case, and one only (though it's very visible); don't make it sound like everything else sucks.

From Apple point of view those examples aren't interesting from business point of view. If GNU/Linux wasn't free as beer and people had to pay for it, all those use cases would never have happened. Hence why it is almost impossible to sell software to GNU/Linux users, and one has to get by writing books, selling consulting services or support.

  Wait, macOS is free as in beer but all those use cases didn't happen with it, coincidence?

    So where is the free macOS source code to build my own gizmo, profit and don't give any money back to those developers that helped me get rich?

      Free beer means you get the beer for free, it doesn't mean you get the recipe.
