The OS family isn't broken – so why are so many companies trying to fix it?
bigger and more complex than any proprietary Unix ever was… and to a good approximation,fully understands the entire Linux stack: it's just too big. Real experts are scarce, and that means that they command top dollar.
What that means is that the evolutionary selective pressure is to reduce the cost of providing that support in order to maximize the profitability of the support contracts. That requires making the OSes as robust as possible: to prevent faults from occurring, so you don't have to pay someone to fix them. If possible, to prevent whole categories of system failures. Better still, to make the OS able to recover from certain types of fault automatically, without human intervention.
