I agree not a great argument, they even mention the difference between Linux and chromebooks and Android, but call it political. I don’t think it’s political but really technological. Android and off the shelf chromebooks hide Linux away and might as well be a toaster running the Linux kernel.
“There's a difference between Linux the technology and "Linux" the political movement, and the political side of Linux has always obscured the practical. Listen to Linux fans all the way back to the 90s, and you hear at worst a mashup of "fight the power" free software advocacy and triumphalist hacker manifestos. But most buyers rank philosophy really low in their purchase choices, behind things like price, ease of use, and software availability.”
