> The only thing that achieved is the development of open source ecosystems that consider distros their enemy, or, at best, “the necessary evil”.

Those ecosystems decided that support for non-Linux environments was required, so they had to take a different approach.

If you have to reinvent the wheel completely anyway, why not just use that new wheel for Linux systems?

The smarter ones incorporated the lessons learned from Distros, but the not so smart ones (Python comes to mind) are still paying the price.

But as the saying goes, with sufficient thrust even a pig will fly. And thanks to the AI craze Python has a *lot* of well-funded thrust.
