      It seems like any video/guide meant for mainstream audiences will just throw random shit at you without diving into any of its controversies for quick views while all the less flattering information stays in dedicated and advanced forums.

      On one hand, you're right. On the other hand, consider that every branch in this graph involved some kind of controversy, if not at least a divergence of requirements. There are a lot of complicated historical, economic, and legal reasons embedded in this as well. It is a really deep subject to dive into when someone's asking "how do I get started?" That said, a 45 minute video which reviews this history landing on a handful of recommendations would be really cool.
