Very small numbers of people already do this on Mac/Windows using tricks like mouting the NAS as an iSCSI device to backup absurd amounts on the $5 plan. The business model is clearly that the legions of small users subsidize the "whales" and Linux desktops are a drop in the ocean vs the Windows/Mac world too. Do you have a source for where Backblaze claimed the usage of most Linux users isn't on par? |

One of their employees pretty much said exactly that here on HN recently. I don't have the comment bookmarked or anything like that so I can't cite it for you, but I do remember reading it.
I'm paraphrasing, of course, but s/he basically said "the math doesn't work out" (for the regular service, not B2 (obviously)).
