The market failed in part because it appears to goose up productivity when you cut team size, outsource, and OKR your way to "measurable performance." Nobody was left with any willingness to call this crap out. Nobody was incentivized to say the bloatware was causing product returns. How to fix this? It has to come from every CEO, down through management, to empower the people who ask expensive questions like "Why is the bloatware so shitty?" This doesn't happen because most CEOs cannot grasp that that is how Apple gets to charge so much more for their laptops, and that they have to give up managing by the numbers to get there. (Not that Apple hasn't got numbers people, especially on the supply chain side.) You don't need open source systems to get there. Open source in commercial systems can help, but it isn't fundamental to getting the bloatware under control. Microsoft does it with Surface in part to put pressure on their OEM customers, like Google does with Pixel. This isn't just to be good to their end-users. They would probably kill their OEMs if they could and be more like Apple, if they could.
