I was going to reply to Chris, but I'll reply here.
What benefit do I, or anyone else, receive by shipping a 100% Unix-clone

Unix-like be necessary for much longer? Are we making a Fedora for
people to use or for researchers to study?
I think it really depends on what you mean by 'people'.
If you mean people == someone using a laptop/desktop.
OR do you mean people == someone who admins a lot of servers and
desktops for others.
And that is the crux of the issue and has always been the crux of the
issue.
