Good, Baker can go find an other x millions salary elsewhere because it's necessary for her family (as she said in an interview), and Firefox can become a community project again that still pays salary to actual developers but without the expensive bullshitting C-suite.
When AOSP was first released, it included all necessary app. Now many of them have been replaced by Google's proprietary app.
There is also the Play Services, necessary for many third party apps. I know an open source compatible lib exists, but it's not the same as not needing it at all.
Yes you can use a fully Open Source Android system, but it's getting farer and farer from a "standard" Android install with all the Google proprietary stuff.
Most places deploy to Linux, and for those knowing Linux helps a lot. Also a lot of places will give MacBook pro, expect you to know the CLI so a lot of Linux knowledge will be useful there.
I hate to break it to you, but companies with actual safe rails to deploying to production do exist.
And when things go wrong, it's never the responsibility on a single dev. It's also the dev who reviewed the PR. It's also the dev who buddy approved the deploy. It's the whole department that didn't have enough coverage in CI.
Steam is the best, and we're lucky that Steam is the one that won rather than another. Which could definitely have happened because once one of them is in place it's extremely hard to change.
So the situation is good for gamers, but from an economic point of view it's bad.
