> Linux will not penetrate that market unless it makes it possible to release completely proprietary (even woefully crappy, move fast and break things) software easily.

Underrated point.

Most Linux distros have historically catered to an ecosystem of open source software with the distro repository model, and cross-distro software distribution is probably the biggest papercut still remaining with Linux today.

Thank goodness things are so much better these days with Electron, Steam, Docker, FlatPak and WINE. But there are still gaps that need filling.
