So really, I don't use any of Red Hat's code. They use a few bits of WebAssembly compiled via binaryen and bundle various bits of VNC code as part of their base install so it is very likely they use more of my code than I use of theirs (which is fairly typical for this kind of "services" company).
So I guess that means my opinions that Red Hat is not a great company is now full of worth?

I disagree. It's similar to politics. There are only so many actual government service jobs and support roles. After that all a person can do is have opinions and debate. If the people in the government don't care to listen to the debates and opinions of the masses then things can change. In the political world that can be anything from being voted out to revolutions; in the Linux world we're talking about people switching desktops or moving distributions. In other words there are only so many people that can be paid to work on code for a living or have free time to volunteer. KDE Plasma, Call of Duty, iMessages...it's really all the same; open source or not is moot because it's all stuff people use, like, and have opinions on how it works and functions.
The fact is that that having an opinionated debate is taking the time and working towards doing something different so you shouldn't go around telling people about how their opinions don't matter. People passionate enough to take time with opinions and debate are prime sources for new ideas and advancement. Yeah, it does take that person or team to go "that's a great idea, let's make it a reality", but the idea wasn't necessarily theirs. The idea came from opinionated thought and debate from people who are passionate about what they do and use in their day to day lives. As a welder it's no different than me fabricating up a solution that someone describes to me. I didn't come up with the overall grand idea but I did come up with the nitty gritty details and implemented it.
I'm going to go back to funding open source projects which I want to help direct, and helping my company contribute to open source. The rest of you can keep having uninformed opinions that amount to nothing.

If it were not for other players and their pragmatism to rock the RH boat and have them remember what users actually want, Linux usage would fall down to (even more) negligible point percentages. If other players had RH financial means, I believe the ease of use would have improved tenfold.

From Subsurface page:
Linux makes it much harder to offer binaries given the vast number of distributions with different mechanisms for making packages available. The Subsurface developers are trying to make packages available for the most popular distributions (and in the most popular formats):
By the way, Subsurface does not use or recommend flatpaks.

Luckily, Captain Obvious is here for you!
There's absolutely no reason why a company whose main (only) business is the development of a cross platform application framework should hire people to work exclusively on one OS's graphics stack. That doesn't rule out that some of its developers could contribute to other projects, but it's definitely not their job.
Their work sits on top of said graphics stack. In this context they're users not developers.
I was answering because someone was impling that while RH is "killing it" and hiring people, tQtC is missing in action, which is clearly not the case.
Also tQtC is 40 times smaller than RH, and I'm not even considering IBM, so any comparison seems a little off

Besides, its your seemingly unqualified opinion that their desktop is a complete and utter failure. It's my opinion that your opinion is aa completely and utter failure.
