It actually is a profit-driven ecosystem, otherwise Mr Poettering's creations would still be something as weird and unpopular as Leechcraft, if somebody remembers that software, and so would Gnome after 2.* and KDE after 3.*, and we would probably have something more interesting instead of Wayland as the coming X11 replacement, but you are right, waiting for the rest of the world to move to Linux before you do is an illogical position to say the least.
It's not solely a profit-driven ecosystem is probably a better phrasing.
