They care when it affects their bottom line, and customers leaving for the competition does that.
I don't know if that's what's happening here, honestly, but you're right that they don't care about being shamed, but building a reputation of being hard to work with and target, especially in a growing market like Linux (still tiny, but growing nonetheless, and becoming significantly more important in the areas where non-gaming GPU use is concerned) can start to erode sales and B2B relationships, and the latter particularly if you make the programmers and PMs hate using your products.
- bryanlarsen 2y ago> in a growing market like Linux Isn't Linux 80% of their market? ML et al is 80% of their sales, and ~99% of that is Linux.
- fngjdflmdflg 2y agoTrue, although note that the Linux market itself is increasing in size due to ML. Maybe "increasingly dominant market" is a better phrase here.
- bryanlarsen 2y agoHah, good point. The OP was pedantically correct. The implication in "growing market share" is that "market share" is small, but that's definitely reading between the lines!
- lmm 2y agoRight, and that's where most of their growth is.
- gessha 2y ago> customers leaving for the competition does that What competition? I do agree that companies don’t really care for public sentiment as long as business is going as usual.
