There is no problem with a monoculture based around a common browser kernel.

Proof: Every cloud company uses Linux and this has created nothing but opportunity for ~~Linux users~~ everyone!

Also nothing but opportunity for those looking for kernel flaws, of which their many. The Linux kernel monoculture is a devastating weakness.

No it’s not. It’s an opportunity to fix things once for everyone instead of having to fix things a hundred times for a hundred different operating systems.

Of course it would create opportunity for Linux users, because Linux became the monopoly. All the BeOS people are now out of luck. Your analogy doesn't make sense.

BeOS users can still use that if they want. Nothing stopping them at all.
