The author is probably is saying - "Rich people's passions are always sinister and ulterior motive is to make more money"
I do not read in the article how he said all of them are always sinister. Can you quote that part?
As for making more money: I think most rich people would like to make more money, so I don't see the argument.
I guess there’s usually a reason behind what tech-moguls say and do, even when they’re presenting themselves as the purely passionate guys."
Whåt do you think the means by the last 2 sentences of his article? pasted the quote above again for your reference.
My point being, ending an article with that last sentence for a topic "Why Omarchy Exists", says that the author hates DHH more than Omarchy's existence. These authors always wanted the year of the Linux Desktop to be 2026, but it should not be from someone like DHH. All the author is trying to convey is that. Nothing about the OS itself. Just a bad faith title plus irrational hatred towards a person who is trying to evangalize Linux more. The author probably hates DHH's personal opinions and projects the same on a opinionated Linux OS called Omarchy.
It's very simple actually. When someone comes out, repeatedly, as not having moral scruples, people stop trusting him.
DHH being nothing more than an indefatigable hype man at this point only makes this situation more distasteful. "But I, the DhH slop coded this distro, why do people hate on it?" There are layers.
