I've already got windows? Why do I need another operating system? I should be happy with my windows, and just contribute to that community, that way, all my changes can be viewed and used by my fellow windows users. I mean, if you're going to be pedantic and silly about a concept, why not go all the way? Fragmentation of effort is bad in all cases, or it isn't bad in all cases.

One could argue that to the extreme.  I've already got windows?  Why do I need another operating system?  I should be happy with my windows, and just contribute to that community, that way, all my changes can be viewed and used by my fellow windows users.

I mean, if you're going to be pedantic and silly about a concept, why not go all the way?

Fragmentation of effort is bad in all cases, or it isn't bad in all cases.  You can't have both categorically at the same time.
