Holy shit, we could make a free and open source atom bomb, and call it OpenHeimer

I think it's valuable to make the distinction, whether it's based on linux or not. Just like it's valuable to make the distinction between unix and macOS.

Because despite all that sophistic nonsense, one of those allows an already too powerful corporation to extend its monopoly into the hardware realm, while reducing user agency.

They can fingerprint your browser and (very) probably your hardware, along with ip, location, and other leaked data, allowing them to reliably identify you whether you're logged in or not.
At this point, it's more of a symbolic protest.

I don't see a scenario where google or the likes would be allowed to fail. So moot point.

Hypothetically it would open a window for open source services to sneak in.
