This kind of excuse will keep popping up unless Linus or somebody else will make a stand and says: "Yes. We are responsible."
Linux isnt technically completely free software. Yes, it doesn't cost any money. But time is money too, so what is the real cost? I think that should be considered before we simply tell people "hey linux is free as in beer!"

Why cant linux devs make a GUI framework that works across all distros? That is literally in their power: Offer a KERNEL api that works across all distros by the simple fact that it's a kernel graphics api, so everyone will have it.
I'm going to ask linus why he doesnt add a gui framework to the kernel.
The general linux response seems to be "do a pull request lol". Such a toxic response.

9 out of 10 times, when i create a bug they just say "wont fix, this is intended / too much work / we dont care"
linux is not just a kernel, it's a community
The problem is that linux issues dont get solved at all in a satisfactory manner for the user.
They should care about the product that USES their kernel too, because ultimately it is their problem when nobody ends up using linux as a kernel anymore
android had the negative effect that linux devs can now keep pointing fingers and say "see: it's popular somewhere so that means we are doing okay!"
