This is pretty US centric thinking. Linux doesn't have licensing. That means it's used extensively in other countries, especially poorer ones. Some countries entire governments use it. It's pretty huge in India too. Africa. Places where common folk, not IT professionals, use it but either have rough or no Internet and aren't communicating in English, especially not GitHub.

A majority of the users being professionals doesn't mean your hypothetical kids in Ghana aren't using it, or that Indian developers aren't filing good bug reports. You're accusing me of advocating a problematic worldview you've created for me.

Wow, a bit touchy. I didn't indicate that your world view was problematic. Just US centric. Was not in any way implying some morals to the debate.

Simply stating facts that not all, arguably not even a majority are IT professionals, except perhaps in the US.
