> Don't even say the Linux kernel, that has like what 2% market share?

87% on mobile. Surely majority on servers. Lots in routers etc.

I don't reslly see your point, though. If something is available for free, obviously it won't sell a lot. If that must be your definition of success, it seems you just have a preconcieved notion.

Also, ovviously 99 % of all open source is garbage. But who cares? No one is forcing me to use it all.



> 87% on mobile.

Using Java and a subset of POSIX APIs that make it irrelevant which kernel Android is actually using, to anyone but driver writers.

Google likes this so much that Brillo has even less layers and Fuchsia is being built with their own inhouse micro-kernel.
