I had a similar thought, but at the same time, if people were mandated to use Windows or MacOS then that would also pretty much lock you into their respective window managers. I guess it feels more restrictive partly because it's more common to pick and choose WMs on linux. (And partly because, yeah, seems like the setup goes way beyond just a distro+WM).

Also because it's a niche WM catering to pretty specific preferences. I used tiled window managers for a while but eventually I decided I preferred the no-customization, one-size-fits-all Gnome/KDE experience. A hyperland config is going to fit like a tailor-made glove—but in this case, it's a glove tailor-made for your CEO, not you.

I spun up Omarchy in a VM just to see what the fuss was about, and when I opened Neovim it booted into a plugin manager and started installing at least two dozen random plugins, including an extremely over-eager autocomplete config that filled my screen with snippet suggestions. I was instantly irritated.
