Are you seriously believing this, or are you just trolling? Because you are basically saying: * There is no reason for car to exist because if horse wagons are bad, they could have been improved. Fragmenting the transportation means is atrocious. Look at all the extra cost on the paved roads. * There is no reason for C++/Java/Python/Rust to exist because if C is bad, it could have been improved. If everyone just reads and writes C, we would have built the tower of babel. * There is no reason for Fedora/Ubuntu/BSD to exist because if Debian is bad, it could have been improved. Imagine a world where Linux = Debian and all shells, utils, libraries are written for this one OS and apps can be distributed in binary form just as Windows and Mac.
