Back in 1998, I got a job working for Wang Global. Wang had previously been a mostly mainframe business, I believe. When PCs came out, Wang said "that's just a fad." They went bankrupt, I believe.

Hell, even Microsoft has/uses/released an open source version of Linux.

Microsoft has developed its own Linux distro, CBL-Mariner, and released it under the open source MIT License.

Microsoft said in the CBL-Mariner repository on GitHub that it's "an internal Linux distribution for Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure and edge products and services" that was "designed to provide a consistent platform for these devices and services" and "enhance Microsoft’s ability to stay current on Linux updates" moving forward.
