Yeah this is so annoying.. I hate the focus they have, has me thinking of also not throwing all eggs in one basket with these services..
Come on guys give them a break. You dont have to use their services if you dont want, but they do a variety of things and they do them well. You can still use Drive through a browser.
But their whole sales pitch is the privacy community. Of course if you care about privacy you will be using Linux and not Windows or MacOS.
And basically no one is using Linux, so why would they develop it for that with limited resources?
People who cares about privacy and security use Linux! Wtf are you talking about
They're obviously talking about the sheer number of users. Windows has something like 10x as many, which most people know. From Wikipedia:
So Linux only wins if 100% of their users use it and only 10% of Windows use it, which won't happen. Of a company has limited resources, they're obviously going to focus their efforts on where they can attract the most number of users (and most money). In this/most cases, that's Windows.
Well I do! I even work in security! And I use Windows! I bet I've blown your mind. Must be real nice to have such a simplistic world view.
