Its more to do with the connotation of calling something a meme.
Maybe I am out of the loop but the description for a meme that was previously given has never occupied my mind whilst seeing a meme.
Eat the rich with the laymen's understanding of a meme does not fit the perceived definition.
Where as eat the rich and its evolution still has the same connotation as it had when first spoken, most likely due to it be a quite with historical meaning.
I am wrong with the given definition but I still see there being understandable confusion and a need for meme to evolve for it to used without confusion.
I am going to be lazy I hope you dont mind but someone said something very similar to what you have said and here is my response
Sadly I didn't have access to tech till 2015ish lol but I know of Netscape and I know software was a lot harder to master forsure, this evolved though.
I'm not harkening back to some rose tinted glasses version of early computing rather I see an issue where the bar to entry is set very high for both hardware and developers as the sheer amount of code, knowledge and hours to build a compatible modern web browser is mad. I dont think modulising the browser equates to harder to use as we made phone with operating systems that were once alien which have a very modular approach when I click a YouTube link in my phones browser it opens the YouTube client, if I click a PDF it opens the PDF client, if I click a phone number it opens the dialer. and so on.

If I wanted to download arch linux torrent I can go to arch's download page, click the magnet icon and my torrent manager open and downloads the file. Now if browsers were stripped down tomorrow people had to relearn how to use chrome/Firefox then yea it would definitely be problematic.
This is what I had thought, where I was confused was the vast amount of comments in the linked post stating flatly that charging for software went against foss
