Linux these days is almost exclusively developed by companies with combined value exceeding Apple's several-fold. Finding money and designers is not really a hard problem.

How do you think thay worked? Alan Dye alome came up with, designed and somehow forced Liquid Glass into every platform? Lemay, who was his second in command had nothing to do with it? It was Alan Dye single-handedly doing it?
