Sure, but alternatively, you could just lay those guys off and bank the savings of outsourcing to Linus and co.

This could be a bait. I was going to comment how wrong you are. How much better and advanced the windows model is compared to linux and how making products that co-operate with other companies (read: people with products they want to get paid for, when did that started being a bad thing?) instead of being "gatekeepy" over ideologies will always have an upper edge.

But seeing how companies have worked in the past, you might be right, some middle manager there might just axe the most valuable part of their product.
