The whole point of a software distribution is to distribute software. It does so very well. The software works and fits together snugly, unlike Windows apps which are alien to each other.
Apparently not well enough because nobody actually uses Linux desktops. You keep coming up with more random features of that software delivery system like "fits together snugly". All of these benefits don't actually provide value to anyone other than software programmers who use Linux for server deployment, which is who package managers are actually designed around (because that's what Linux is actually used for). Ultimately, having all these different distros repeating the same work over and over releasing software updates, acting as a middle man between users and software, is inefficient and hobbles actual software. It also means if you want to create a new Linux distro, you now have to compile every single software program still in use, in order for the distro to be useful to the widest range of people.
OK. Enjoy your adware-laden software you downloaded from random sites on the internet. Enjoy your software that just randomly breaks. Enjoy your forced updates. Enjoy your npm-style software repositories. Enjoy your ransomware that came with that hot new Windows-fixer program. I'll enjoy the modern comforts of a package manager and software distributions. You enjoy your shitware.

On a communist website, this person doesn't understand that free markets aren't actually free. Why aren't ISPs good? Why don't the people just switch ISPs when one offers a better service? Inertia inhibits competition. The fact that Windows is the default on all systems inhibits competition.
