Hot take: I believe 99.98% of the population doesn’t bother with Open Source at all. Perhaps even less.
Otherwise, the IT landscape would look totally different and a lot of big tech would have no chance to exist. Windows would not exist as it is today.
It’s a failure of the education system of the last two decades. We need legislation, mandate schools and universities to teach the importance of FOSS and use only Open Source tooling, down to the administrative part. Luckily, in Europe, more and more countries introduce „public-money, public-code“ legislation now, so there is hope.
