The various Linux communities need to be careful what they wish for IMO, would it be great for market share to get onboard with Linux? Absolutely.
But like you said, things will have to be dumbed down and hidden extensively.

IMO Linux is great the way it is, low market share and all, and we all know what happens when something starts catching on with the general public…
