Pre-cisely!

You'll learn that *BSD's boot and startup are so simple people can do
it themselves, without hiring a systemd expert. It's hard to monetize
simplicity. In the words of former Redhat CTO Brian Stevens:

=====================================================
"Red Hat's model works because of the complexity of the technology we
work with. An operating platform has a lot of moving parts, and
customers are willing to pay to be insulated from that complexity.

I don't think you can take one finite element - like Apache - and make
a business out of it [using our model]. You need product complexity."
