Canonical's OS is built almost entirely out of community code (in this sense I am using community in a greater sense that basically includes everyone outside Canonical, including other companies). Only a few small parts of it are written by Canonical (highly visible to us when we use Ubuntu, of course - we interact directly with programs like LightDM and Unity - but ultimately this is still only a small part of what is Ubuntu). It is entirely justifiable for community members to be upset at Canonical, whose primary product exists due to the work of the community, when Canonical makes decisions that hurt the community.
