I don't know much about it. All I know is GNU software is somehow important to how Linux works on the low-level layers.

More like confirmation bias. People only remember when their prayers "solved" a situation that surely wouldn't resolve itself either way, but forget the million others where it failed.

“While sales are not our main concern at the moment, we have seen a very significant drop,” said the official.

I always find it funny when representatives of a big corporation say this.

The profit is all that matters to companies, even their reputation with the wider public only matters because it affects their ability to achieve a higher profit margin.

It feels disingenuous and manipulative to hear this.

That seems like a misrepresentation of the "left" (pretty much a useless term, but oh well).

Most of the "right" indeed believes "rich people" are essential to the economy and their abandonment of a country leads to economic collapse.

I'd argue the "left" agrees that the owners of capital play an essential role in most economies nowadays, but also believe that it doesn't have to be that way. In a capitalist economy (like most in the world), the need to appease capital owners, constantly growing, desire to accumulate capital leads to unwanted outcomes like democratic backsliding and without resistance economic power subverts democratic institutions.
