Wouldn't uniformity be a bad thing for less common Linux distributions since whatever targets the famous distros would also work with the less common distros but while the former have the big userbase and skilled security team, the latter will be left exposed? And in turn create a vicious circle where the less common distros will be used even less and the more common distros even more, thus creating a monoculture that despite being open source gives control to a few organizations and/or individuals?
(of course this issue with uniformity can also happen outside of security reasons - e.g. if all distros provide more or less the same experience then why bother with a small distro?)
