I'm with you on this. I've been using openSUSE since it was SuSE Linux, and I still here bs on occasion about how they sold out open-source to MS. I'm not a huge fan of what Novell did back in the day, although it did end up costing MS more money. That said the opensuse community is not whichever corporation owns SLE currently, and they still contribute back to the community.
You're either memeing, and you use Arch btw, or you are a decade behind. Most PC users surf the web, print a PDF, and possibly look at pictures from their phone on a larger screen. All of those can be done from a vanilla install of most Linux distros. Before you say "yeah, but windows comes pre-installed on my pc" congratulations you've discovered why monopolies are bad, but also I can install Linux on my hardware before you're done watching the "please wait while we are setting up your computer" and "just a few more moments" screens that give you absolutely no information about what is actually happening.
Why give them the tip when they go balls deep.
