I do agree that Linux has been adding complexity at a good pace the last 10 years. I disagree about Docker. It's a good tool for reproducible development and production environments.

What you rather they write their spaghetti in? MATLAB? FreeBSD does not have the mindshare and ecosystem that Linux does. That actually does matter.
