It's easier for them to impose their will on a small amount of people (OS devs) who will in turn impose that will on everyone else thus tightening their control.
In short, hierarchy.
OS Dev won't be the problem. Its bull shit laws thats forced upon them in order to keep the project alive. No one wants to be the dude that has to keep up with securing the new literal front door on a distro. This shit is a security nightmare. Devs ain't the top of this food chain the distro's shut down and we have what? TempleOS?
