They run Windows and all this third party software because they would rather pay subscriptions and give up control of their business than retain skilled staff. It has nothing todo with Linux vs Windows. Linux won’t stop doors falling off Boeing planes. It is the myopia of modern business culture.
Anything hyped on Hacker News. Tech bros are only about their big payday. Very little of their shit improves the world and they disrupt industries and social structures without creating worthwhile replacements. They receive too much attention and have way too much access to capital which could be used more productively elsewhere. They are ruining my enjoyment of technology. I am very wary of services infringing my privacy, stealing my intellectual works, leaving me open to hackers, marketers and predatory business models, putting people out of work, promoting unfair employment practices, disconnecting people from their friends, family and community, promoting social division etc.
