    The magic-number, in human-population tipping-points, is 1/5, aka 20%.

    Less than that in representation, and one has only “representation” ( any power-minority ).

    More than 80% representation, & suddenly the alternative doesn’t matter, politically.

    Also showed-up in the college-being-devalued-by-male-culture: once the 80% threshold is crossed of being women-only, then suddenly male-culture contempts there could be ANY validity in college & that’s that.

    20%-threshold crossing would suddenly force Linux into being valid in legislators’ eyes.

    Until then, Microsoft can push that the OS MUST be the identity-police, as a means of forcing-into-being-illegal all Linux distros which can’t do that.

    You’ll notice that they’re acting rather pre-emptively, even enforcing that systemd has the required code to be participating in being age-police surveillance…

    Legislative-validity’s the thing that’ll change, & that either happens at 1/5, XOR it happens when some tuxhead gets into power, somehow, making Linux legislatively valid.
