Generalizing a whole population based on the antics of a subset is global phenomena. I'll do just that with a finer grained version for those who care to know:
Austin = main stream Dallas, Houston, San Antonio = mildly right leaning Lubbock, Amarillo = rabid t-party/bible thumping zones Rural = scary stuff
When Kim Jong-Un came to power, I was soundly modded down for expressing skepticism about his being a reformer. I was insulted for being an "old man" stuck in a cold war mentality. Now he is dancing Pyongyang Style.
The OP may be talking about ascension to grumpy old man status. He joins others like Senator McCain and John Stewart in raising his cane to the sky in defiance.
I understand that Fedora is an experimental platform for bleeding edge changes, but if you take the perpetual beta status too far, nobody will bother to do your testing.
I know this is a South Park reference, but it made me think of the bowling alley scene in the Big Lebowski.
France: We want ze money, Googlebowski.
Donny: Are these the socialists, Walter?
Walter Sobchak: No, Donny, these men are nihilists, there's nothing to be afraid of.
They are starting to act like a cornered animal, trying to pull out many of their old monopolistic tricks out of their war chest.
Or maybe they are developing what they believe is better technology in a time frame better suited to their needs. I guess you see what you want to see. Yes, they have a spotty past. If they neutered every project in fear of appearing anti-competetive, they would be dead in short order.

How are "High level employees" with business decision making powers, directorships, fiduciary responsibility and strategic control NOT considered foxconn?
Maybe this will help explain: A bank employee embezzles from his employer. Headline reads: Bank steals money. See the problem now?
I, an out of shape old man, was able to walk around Mauna Kea (13,700 ft) without much problem as long as you move slow. 16K feet would probably put me on my ass.

My money will go to the manufacturers who will provide "old school" displays.
Here's your VT100 sir.
Hmmm... the horse has left the barn. I know: enjoy our new "free range horse" offering... because Amazon cares about what you want.
Because blowing up planets is cool. Did you see Alderaan? Robot Chicken had a simulation involving muffins.
