I'd like to see examples of well known good apples outside of OSS that care about performance, compatibility, accessibility, security, and privacy.

  Even in OSS caring about performance, compatibility, security and privacy is the exception. The biggest projects do tend to care, but the majority don't. The biggest examples in OSS are mostly funded by capitalism to care ab out those things.

  Although they have many faults, Microsoft has cared about compatibility for 30 years (you can still run DOS programs on your Windows 10 computer). They have cared about the security of their users since about 1999, and they cared about their user’s privacy for about 10 years before dropping it in favor of advertising revenue a few years ago. People still install Windows on new their computers, so it evidentially isn’t a big concern for most people either. Their support for accessibility technologies is probably better than most operating systems, though it’s a bit hard to tell from the outside. Performance is an odd one. It is my understanding that the Windows kernel gets high marks for performance, but aside from that almost nothing does.
