I don’t care about having this kind of influence. These are tools. I want the tools I use to be good so I buy good tools.
It’s not about low quality discussion. A significant part of the Linux community seems to me to be deeply toxic and that leads to what I consider to be suboptimal technical choices.

Right, good strategy.

Do you mean toxic users influence some developers to make bad decisions? Any examples? Toxic users dumping on systemd may be one, but I don't think they have that much impact, systemd seems pretty successful in not giving away. Anyway systemd is a very specific case, this is not representative of all linux software projects.
