Linux can't control the hardware it's deployed on so it'll always be at a massive disadvantage.

What do you mean?

Any vendor can take Linux and tailor it to their hardware (e.g. Tivo) and make it a seamless experience for the enduser. You might not recognize it as Linux at that point, but it still is Linux and that is one of its design potentials (if not goals).
