Yes, in that it's military-grade technology that needs to be more accessible to the public. Otherwise I don't agree with your analogy.

Actual "military grade tech" assumes field service by minimally trained personnel and an efficient logistic chain of supply. This is is the opposite of Nix, which requires months of self-training futzing around with obscure commands and an obscurer language, backed by an out of date unsorted mound of documentation and recipes.
An F-18 is military-grade tech and no minimally trained personnel are getting anywhere near it. It's all just bad analogies is my point.
