The only reason video games, Adobe products, MacOS specific apps, and all these other isolated platforms rig themselves to be monopolies is because they choose to be closed source.
The lie they tell people is that open source is more vulnerable because of source being open, yet we see nonstop vulnerabilities for the same closed source swindlers.
They rig everything because of capitalism. So long as the people behind the scenes are around to hoard more wealth on top of their greed, this will always continue.
It’s also the case that the corporate world loathes not having vendors and a chain of accountability and proprietary tech companies have been using these to attack OSS and prevent its wide adoption for decades.
But most importantly corporate and government IT loves Microsoft’s Active Directory and there’s no alternative to that in Linux.
They wouldn’t even disclose/fix bugs and vulns if it didn’t impact their own bottom line. Think about how much in closed source is yet to be discovered or exploited.
Then they go out and say we are the industry standard and sell the software to schools on discounts to hook people on them. They also go out and say if you don’t use our software, you will be left behind.

Open source is known to fix bugs ASAP; i don’t know many major vulnerabilities in the linux kernel that lasted more than a week
Turns out having a lot of people using something that has interest in keeping them secure will make more people work together to keep it secure
