I measured the heights of myself and my niece and found them to be different, clearly a double standard must be involved.

You yourself mentioned a lot of differences between corporate app stores and distros' software repositories. Why are you surprised people rate them differently?

Perhaps because your standards are different from more Linux users' standards.

I for example would rather take my chances with a random volunteer rather than trust a corporation that had a history of breaking laws and I know it to want to make money off me.
