Ego? Sounds like a simple statement of fact. If someone else can debug the issue, can he say what he did and not get called out?
Also, it is funny that people who succeed in the first place due to what you call as ego, are expected to magically lose it and become "nice" once they are above a certain level of success.

So everyone else would rather work on something they think is cool, and Linus is stuck with the crap work that in the end nobody is willing to do. That is why he's the guy in charge. That is why he deserves the credit for Linux.
