Piece by piece, Red Hat is taking over the Linux ecosystem.

The rest just do a lot of opinoning and complaining and not that much of developing.
So each component is interrelated, and holding one back means sacrificing compatibility with the new features (and security fixes!) of many other components.
In this way we can find ourselves dragged into using software that is actually worse than it used to be. This is important to note because it means our use of a component is not proof that it's good. It just means that the ecosystem is good enough overall that it can force us to accept devolved versions of certain components.
It makes sense to argue about what the consensus of the ecosystem should be even while recognizing that we will probably accept it regardless.
