In 1991 as a college student. The situation has changed drastically. I'd guess his primary source of income matters greatly if it were to disappear or drastically shrink.
You don't think Linus should reflect on his behavior from time to time and maybe change it if he no longer feels that it's a good idea for him personally or professionally? He should keep doing the same things, damn all the consequences, just because other people--people he may respect and trust--have told him it's probably not a great idea?
That's a hot take, indeed. Me, I think one should be constantly reevaluating what one believes and making sure one's actions are congruent with the life one wants to lead, but--you do you, I guess.

So because you, for reasons that if I'm being frank don't seem great, like that he does that, he shouldn't reflect on his actions and decide if they're actually congruent with the life he wants to lead and the example he wants to set for other people?
He should but every person definition on what life one want are different.
For example, someone want to just work on project according what his style and if other people feeling get hurt by this, as long as this project owner happy and fine by the situation then the logical action he should take is to just ignore the them.
Some other people who do care about other people feeling then sure, they should listen to them.
These 2 people are different so too differ on what life they want and what makes them happy.
