You cannot compare Car and Operating system !
Like we have one syllabus or math or history statewise or nationwise, we
must have one OS for Govt use case, I never said every Bharatiya must adopt
it.
What kind of Freedom you are talking about when there will be no use of
such Freedom product.
I have full faith in traditional Bharatiya family culture where Father
impose certain restriction for good of their children and society, some
modern people may call this dictatorship and feel happy when both father
and son get wines together and says you have freedom to choose your life
path.
coming back to the point, I like dictatorship where Govt may dictate single
OS for education or govt purpose rather then Freedom choice windows.

See, most of the computer professional work very well, when we provide
Freedom. Freedom to computer professional is equal to dictatorship of
computer professional from the view point of management. Similarly a good
person become a leader and if he want to impose good things then I see this
as Freedom of Leader rather then dictatorship of Leader.

I prefer 5-10 Linux distro with major share in market with 0% share of
windows rather then
Freedom choice 4000 Linux distro with 1% share in market.
