I think the political culture is holding it back more than the name. People poke their heads in and see an environment that is far more left than they’re used to so they head back to Reddit. It can be a shock to see all the moe/loli and communist stuff when they aren’t used to it.
The US government is just upset because it’s harder to place back doors in non-US hardware. It’s a US national security concern to NOT have US back doors in devices.
I bet it was McDonalds kiosk facial recognition that the government has paid unlimited access to. They just don’t want to give up their tricks. The eyebrows tripped AI facial recognition and the FBI called local law enforcement to make contact.
People love hating on flatpak for some reason. Maybe they only have 256MB of storage or something.
