This one right here. A) They already work at this crazy abstracted layer and B) They are often … yeah… um, either not competent or out of touch - Nepotism and cronyism has run wild in corporate America at least.

My partner and I often joke about this - That LLMs would do a better job than current execs. We both work at a layer where we still have to do work based on very specific, rigid criteria (I’m in systems, she’s in contracts), but still both high enough that we have contact with C-suite. It’s bonkers how crazy and not-good these people are, and we’ve each worked for a few companies at the layer we are at… it’s fairly consistent.

Edit: Just as an anecdote: One of my companies brought on a C-suite who came from another large company and another one before that and another one before that. He was terrible, but this was expected - his whole schtick is to come into that position in companies and figure out the most cutthroat ways to outsource, which leaves those departments in massive disarray but makes the company more money in the short term, then he jettisons away to another company. It’s bad out there. Oh right, and he proselytized Christianity in meetings… that was weird.

US auto manufacturer software development is widely considered to be top-notch.

There’s no way they could be lying, right?

Yuuup. At the data centers I’ve been to in VA, there are smaller buildings peppered in which house small businesses. Bet your ass all it takes is a little gyro shop to qualify as sharing the infrastructure.

Wellll… yes, but actually maybe. Nvidia support on Linux is there, but it’s essentially black box drivers and therefore hard to address issues around them when they arise, and they do. It’s a lot more finicky.

Edit: Plus, Nvidia drops Linux support for older video cards that still work (like the 10 series), so the distros effectively need to drop support as well.

There’s a bit of this in the ffxiv community as well. Especially in the RP community, you’ll have people who use incel language also looking for ‘F+’ interactions. I just have a hard time wrapping my head around that worldview.
