Yeah really the strategy is chasing resilience and value rather than profit. And the strategy is called reasonable long term planning. Yeah they're throwing millions into Linux now, because the alternative is being at the mercy of Microsoft who is a competitor with a known monopolistic streak.

Adding features is choosing to stay ahead of any competition now or in the future and to maintain the skills of your devs.
