The point I was trying to make was why the culture of free-as-beer doesn't lead to successful commercial desktop software on GNU/Linux.

The point I'm trying to make is no one wants commercial desktop software on Linux. We want software we can fix and improve without requiring anyone's permission.

Which is precisely the point that drove me back to Windows, Mac and mobile platforms.

No point trying to play D. Quixote attempting business on the desktop with such mentality.
