It can only be speculation, but it's my belief. Linux became a server system for big applications. Who benefits most from such software are huge businesses. Who pays for their benefit are the Linux developers doing very specialized and competent work for free.
Why is there no consumer friendly solution for having a server connected at home and publishing your own website to the world, without having to be very skilled at computers? There are consumer friendly solutions for everything else: office suites, e-mailing, photo editing, all sorts of creativity. Consumers are now regulated to posting their online stuff on social media, because that is what is accessible to them. And I want to blame Linux partly for this, because the great allure of "free" halted any consumer solution.
