I'd like to see Linux go more mainstream, because it's free software, and I believe free software is one necessary part of being in control of our computing, and would like everyone to be in control of their computing. It could be anything other than Linux, but that's the most promising path.
In this view, good feedback on about to be able to fit mainstream needs is good to take, and I believe it does not necessarily implies worse usability for today's Linux users like you or me. But I agree that having to install it is a barrier and money needs to be spent promoting it. UX wise, it's already quite good.
Now about LTT, I think this particular video is fine. About the whole channel, it's mostly entertaining, mostly geared toward gaming, there is no point to try liking it if you don't already. There are good things here and there but there are so many other interesting things to watch or do. SponsorBlock does a very good job of skipping annoyances like product placement on this channel though, I wouldn't bother occasionally watch LTT's videos by curiosity without it.
