    Many people have said this before and I will say it again: Linux is
    fine as an open-source/free-software rtos, but as a non-free rtos it
    has no chance in front of the competition.

    You can dimiss those who haven't chosen #4 as much as you want and
    find all the reasons to justify your dismissal. It remains that the
    embedded/rt market is closed to Linux because of the current situation.
