I can't delete my comment now, but I think you're right. I don't consider "take it or leave it" to be gatekeeping, but when the world's biggest corporations pose a threat to software liberty, distros becoming more palatable to average users is strictly a good thing.
Not that I'm even involved with distro development anyway. Probably would've been better to let the real OS engineers have the discussion on that one.
