I guess this is what survives of the 90s/early-2000s Slashdot mentality where people defend software for ideological reasons and get in Linux vs. Windows fanboy fights, but I think that's anachronistic today. Linux Desktop is never going to take over among average people (increasingly many of whom don't even use desktops at all) and that's fine.
"There will never be a year of minimal GNU/Linux distros on desktop."
Fixed that for you.
