I think the implication is that Canonical are in the same, shrinking market. Whilst I assume Ubuntu Server has a smaller market share (though I have no figured to back this up), are they not going to end up in the same spot where they can't really progress?
Well, Canonical was never a successful business in the first place. Red Hat on the other hand has revenue in the billions... which is huge! It’s just not growing fast enough to keep up with the competition from cloud providers and others. Canonical hasn’t even graduated to that sort of first-class problem (and I doubt they ever will).
I don’t understand your question, sorry. Can you explain what you mean?
