Standards are fine as long as it's not just to drive monoculture, or to overengineer something just to sell consultancy.
Ultimately I don't care about 'everyone' moving to Linux, I just don't want it where one company is able to get away with sabotaging so much of an industry, and yet have people doing the usual "well, it's what 'the real world' uses" lip service to double-down on their mistake of defending Windows/Adobe/whatever crapware that people trap their livelihoods on. But honestly, the stupider it gets, and the more Microsoft sabotages things, then it's honestly a fate well deserved for its users.
If someone makes a better option than Linux, even if more esoteric, I'd probably be fine with using it for myself (as long as it's some form of free or open source software). I've juggled with BSDs for some use-cases. I'm just tired of proprietary software that's actively fucking over its users, that often gets defended by people unwilling to learn or adapt, or by people just willingly choosing their misery.
