Going by all the chaff it's thrown up, lumping in desktop Linux with Android was the article's main rhetorical innovation. I'm critical of Android's fragmentation problem, and I talk to other people who are too, but I've never heard anyone make the case that Linux is in the same boat. Kernel aside, the two camps of developers tend to have different markets, different distribution models, different funding sources, different UI expectations, different degrees of acceptable UI complexity, and different development timeframes. And when I say different, in most cases I mean "non-overlapping". s/he/she/, though.
