Summary: - Some Linux vendors are trying to create lock-in. - Some Linux vendors are adding non-free stuff to their distros - Some Linux vendors want per-seat licences for their distro
Then look at "The Solution" - Trust in a brand. - Endorsement by application vendors. - A development and service organization that users can be confident in. - Certification by standards organizations. - All without vendor lock-in or other "commercialization" issues.
If you object to these goals, tell us why. If you think these goals, in a single distro, are not important, tell use why.
I think you got the answer to your question but you just don't like the answer.
