(I may not be a guru but certainly not a weenie) It is the thundering horde of weenies that drive computer/os sales. Unless and until someone provides a combination of linux that can be run by weenies that don't want to know anything other than what button I do I push to do blah blah a linux based distro does not have a chance generating Joe Home User sales that might provide much revenue. RedHat is the only distro I have ever really used for more than a week at a time but distance it has come in the short 5 years or so since I started dinking with it is lightyears.
