LUCA's descendants were able to go to every possible life niche on Earth and displace all other types of life? That makes very little sense.
It makes perfect sense, you explained clearly how it could happen.
The reasonable way of looking at it is, "What is the probability of that happening?" That's a scientific question.

How? Not technically, but from a business point of view.
From a technical point of view, you can also ask why would you ever make your compiler target LLVM bitcode. There are better options.

... is that it's a protocol designed and built by someone who knew what he was doing (Linus Torwalds) resulting, among other things, in the fact that migrating your upstream Git repo away from a commercial service like Github takes something like 20 seconds, if you're having a slow day.
The difficulty of migrating away from Github is when you've built your entire deploy pipeline and QA process around it, which is what a lot of companies are doing lately.

More cylinders does make for a smoother engine without complex harmonic dampening, which the Japanese have decades of experience in doing exceptional at.
There was a big scandal about smooth submarine motion during the cold war. Toshiba makes the quietest refrigerator I've ever heard (42 db iirc). Can't hear it in the next room.

Trump doesn't have the will to deploy military strength. His actions so far have been performance theater (ie, pick on small countries in hopes that Russia and China will be afraid).

ii. Get rid of senior executives who are more interested in their fiefdoms vs. the company well being
I appreciate your ideas, but this will never work. Executives (and every other sane person at the company) will always be more interested in their own success than in the company's success.

Internal politics are well within the control of the CEO, if he didn't address them its on him.
How should the CEO have addressed that problem?
