Nobody makes money on Linux by selling it as a stand-alone product, obviously. Even RedHat sells support, not software. But Linux makes some of the world's most successful companies possible in the first place: Imagine either of the FANGs if they had to pay Microsoft a license on every server. I'd say that's a win. (But agree that Linux hasn't necessarily won over Windows in any general sense).
