I did read your blog post. One thing stood out to me (which I didn't comment on due to time constraints) is:
"Furthermore, current marketing efforts for Linux, led by entities such as Canonical, Red Hat, or the Linux Foundation, seem to miss the mark in advocating for Linux as a desktop operating system. Their attention appears to be directed everywhere except toward positioning Linux as a compelling choice for desktop users."
This is because the Linux market is primarily servers. #Canonical, #RedHat, #SUSE, and others know this. This is where the money is. The corporate-backed #Linux desktop market does exist but it's quite limited. Canonical has shifted from desktops to servers for this reason.
When it comes to hardware compatibility, standardization and support do exist, but once again it's limited to the aforementioned companies with Red Hat being the one most vendors certify because it's the dominant player.
There is no money in the hobbyist distros.
