Linux is a major desktop platform, with user numbers comparable to those of MacOS.
You're dreaming. Linux is about a big a player on the desktop as Macs are in the server room. Numerically, the number of Linux installations is comparable to that of MacOS, but the majority of those by far are server installations. Similarly, the vast majority of Macs in use are desktop machines.
And much of that wonderful software that makes MacOSX such a nice platform comes from that community.
Again, you're dreaming. Lots of well made and reliable low-level software does indeed come from the GNU and OSS communities. Lots of it is indeed in OS X. But the parts that make OS X such a nice platform, rather than Just Another Generic UNIX, are from Apple.
