I think your title is a bit misleading. When you say "Linux" I think Linux kernel. *snip*
Yes, misleading, but rather typical of the general misunderstanding that is prevalent. But then again, what value is a kernel to the average joe? So its just easier then trying to explain how it all fits together to a non techie. ( kernel, X, desktop, etc.. )
Even with BSD where it IS the sum of its ( official ) parts, the explanation still gets messy.
All they want is something that will be stable and get the job done, in a consistent manner. Often times the bells and whistles for the sake of having htem just get in the way, and damages consistency making things confusing when they don't need to be.
I don't have a iPhone so i don't know how that works, but are you stuck with getting stuff from the 'officially blessed' iStore or can you just get any random app from wherever you want?
If so, sounds like its time for a 3rd party store without such ridiculous rules....
Remember them? I do, but i wouldn't give them a thing. i would walk. While public facing sites may be 'in the public' demanding that you give directions on how to find them is way out of line.
Such a function is expected to be useful in a culture lacking modern sanitation and healthcare practice, where diarrhea may be prevalent.
Assuming they are correct ( its still just a theory ), as the human race continues to advance the need would be reduced and eventually eliminated, so ya, it should be 'evolved out' of the species.

That you can get funding for most anything if you make it sound scientific.
Where is my cut of the pie? "Why do people like to breathe air"
But, there more are corporate users without the right to install anything...
Does the Linux Desktop Innovate Too Much?

Better question is why they would even 'ban' it in the first place.

With so many people actually supporting stuff like this, our rights wont slowly fade but will go out with much fanfare and flag waving.
Reminds me of that scene in starwars: 'so this is how freedom ends... '
One would hope it would be a violation of their internal security policy.

it was a joke.
And there goes their infrastructure....
Its all incremental, get your foot in the door then start pushing the rest of the way in.
until that is blocked.. They aren't ( totally ) stupid.. just slow to catch up.
And when the WTO demands the same blocking in all member countries? Then what?
And a short note sent off to the authorities that you attempted to view 'bad' knowledge. Get too many 'notices', you might earn a visit.
And blow it up?!?
Public roads, so ya, i do expect you to repair my vehicle if you support roads that by nature will damage my car.
5mph is enough to kick up rocks. Only takes one rock to start the rust process.
So who is going to pay for the long term damage the gravel will cause to my car? The city is responsible for damage caused by chuckholes.
That is if you care for your car and live in the midwest.
Gravel + salt = early death due to rust.
This is exactly what it was created for.
And i just thought it was because i had comcast and it rained.. Go figure.

Thats cheating, really its not a C64, its an embedded machine that happens to have composite video output.
Running an embedded OS on an 8 bit processor is common place. REAL common place.
So what? Who is to say they aren't slowly evolving away and they were much more pronounced in the past when we needed it living out in the wild?
Much like an appendix, its most likely something once useful that is on the way out. Evolution doesn't happen overnight.
