If anything will finally result in the "year of the Linux desktop," it's shit like this. No one wants their operating system actively working to make it harder and more annoying to use their choice of applications.
The OS isn't the reason anyone uses a computer, it's the applications it can run.
When given two doors to choose from, desktop computing and mobile computing, most people aren't going to explore desktop alternatives to Windows. They're largely going to stick to mobile, with all the learned helplessness that entails.
