People who use windows and rely on propitiatory software from Adobe and
Macromedia are unlikely to successfully complete Linux From Scratch
but, if macromedia, adobe, autodesk don't support
linux, then it won't get the mainstream chance.
and if there is not a base standard followed by all
distros, the commercial support won't happen.
as much as we like our free os, and the ability to
make it the way we want, the commercial support is
what is needed to get linux mainstream desktop, not
just server.
Commercial software is closed source. How would we benefit if Linux became a
clone of Windows with everyone using closed source, propitiatory software?

Not always. Sometimes some interesting patches arrive as unexpected attachments
