Nobody will understand when I say that this is why we're still fighting about ABIs and package managers, but that's the deep truth of the matter.
A useful corollary is that the web is necessary to any liberatory agenda because it elides the low-management-capacity aspects of FOSS in ways that still deliver for users. This is perhaps my second most unpopular take.
