Linux as a market that is so fragmented on the desktop level.
This demonstrates an all to often misunderstanding of the purpose of Linux, and open source in general (depending on what licence is used).
Fragmentation is an important, necessary, and inevitable outcome of open source.
Open source provides the freedom for the user to adapt the software to their own environment. That's the whole point..to enable that kind of 'fragmentation'.
(Of course, if your real objective is to dominate a market, then fragmentation is the last thing you want).
