The problem is capitalism, not which kernel everything runs. And the reason FOSS isn't universal is also capitalism.

It's more complicated to make money producing FOSS, capitalism or not. Lots of reasonable developers would still choose closed source even without capitalism.

Making money is a capitalist adjacent idea. The premise that we need money to figure out how to allocate resources is foolish

Money not necessarily, we need to calculate costs (and minimize it) in distributed fashion.
