What matters is user freedoms. I don't care how much money Canonical make as long as me or anyone else has a right to modify, redistribute, and view source code of the programs/OS I use. If Microsoft did this, and allowed others to patch the flaws in its OS, I would have no problem with them making billions of dollars.
Microsoft aren't making the billions through being the best choice - they are making them because they are seen as the only choice. For example, I resent my school forcing me to have Windows at home to run certain programs and view certain files.
