Then what do companies need Linux guys for? If what you say is true, there's a large incentive for the industry to put you guys next on the chopping block by similarly lowering the complexities of Linux, or improving the Windows ecosystem to do everything else at least as well as Linux can.

Microsoft’s future is in the cloud. They don’t really care if you use Windows Servers anymore. They have no real motivation to make Windows lightweight enough to compete with Linux. But I’m not a “Linux guy” yet. I’m trying to move up to being an overpriced “consultant” that tells companies how they can save money via automation, using best Devops practices, etc. and why they don’t need as many infrastructure people. I’m a software architect who plays the role of an AWS Architect when necessary.
