This is part of the neo-liberal playbook: We'll give you shiny toys if you just give us complete control.
#FOSS is democratic, and yes, that can be messy. Push back from Linux users against systems like PulseAudio, Systemd, Wayland, Wine & Flatpak are all justified and healthy. Some of those things I like, and some I don't, but there should always be alternatives. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't support FOSS.
