I think it failed not because of some wrong technical setup or fragmentation but because nerds generally don't care about the novice user experience, it's near the bottom of the list of priorities. For profit companies don't care either but are instantly rewarded for it financially so those that get it done increase their market share. It's a sad dilemma that I have no idea how or if it can be fixed because I would love not having to use a mac and use Linux as a desktop instead.

Nerds don't even care about the nerd user experience. If you complain about anything then you should fix it yourself, or you're doing it wrong, or it isn't actually a problem because they've never encountered it.
