No, because the same would be true if they developed on top of stock OS X or Red Hat Linux.
Using someone else's platform as your base saves development time and money. It doesn't mean it's a smart move, but time and cost considerations seem to be all anyone cares about these days.
I really don't understand why people run sensitive and critical stuff on Microsoft Windows.
Because doing so saves them both time and money - and those two factors trump everything else in their decision-making tree.
That's because you never discovered the one weird trick, discovered by a single mom, to reading Buzzfeed!
DOUS's? I don't believe they exist.
I have my UPS plugged into another UPS just in case. I DONT want my UPS going down even if my UPS goes down. It's been working great keeping my Raspberry Pi online.

I'm going to bed now.
Hopefully with a leggy woman.
Yeah, that silly statement in the summary stood out like a sore thumb.
(As does my bad metaphor)
it seems like more and more old people are dying in hang gliding accidents these days.
What orifice did you pull that from? He died from esophageal cancer.
Dice's finances are currently taking a hit, so they've asked Slashdot editors to conserve "R"s.
Employees having been whining about their boss' incompetence since the beginning of time
This is true. However sometimes a boss really is incompetent.
When you have to find ways to work around your boss to actually get your work done, it's probably a good indicator that your boss doesn't know what he's doing.
One possible reason that things aren't going according to plan is that there never was a plan in the first place.
