Obv we have better operating systems, yes. But we also obviously have much, much better de-jure open source standards than the UNIX/unix/etc crowd could ever manage. So the world is better when all those guys gave-up or died.
Stallman and Torvalds were not romantics, but they were tactical and strategic in targeting commercial UNIX. You could tell in the old days the Linux benchmark was Solaris.

I think this line is a bit harsh but otherwise I think we’re pretty much in agreement now unless there’s something else you would like to add on. Cheers!
