Yes, except If cake were free and accessible to anyone regardless of silverware or plates.

And also allowed to you to modify the cake as you see fit and even gave you the ingredients if you wanted to bake your own

I hate to break it to you, but Linux isn't as accessible as many people make it out to be. Sure, the base OS can probably run on more computers, but if you want to talk parity with what somebody needs, there's a darn good chance you'll run into issues.

And at that point, you need to expect the person to learn a new operating system, and one where user experience tends to be the last thing developers think about...

Same can be said with any operating system, even any piece of software.
