Your comment is based on some sweeping claims with no supporting evidence — can you point to something specific you think is wasteful, alleged harmful telemetry (not Jeffrey Paul's misunderstandings about OCSP), or prevents “getting stuff done”?
As someone who started using Linux as a desktop OS in the 1990s I would especially suggest that if smugly-nonspecific sneering at other operating systems was an effective advocacy strategy the number of Linux desktop users would be a lot greater than it is now.
