no one buys a computer for the OS anymore (outside of business, obviously). People expect things to be interoperable and don't care what's inside so long as it works and is shiny, so your (linux) phone can take photos, and you can plug it into your (apple) laptop and copy them over, then print them from the printer connected to your (windows) desktop. That's the idea anyway. Electronic goods are disposable as far as meatbags are concerned, if the phone doesn't work anymore, they take it to the shop to get replaced or fixed or they just toss it and buy a new one, nobody but us lot here actually installs or configures an operating system (upgrades, maybe, but they're largely automated now) so the "choice" between office suites and desktop environments is never made by meatbags.
