I agree that the certification is meaningless. If it were that important 
to people, the many UNIX variants through the 90s and 2000s would have 
sold machines. They didn't.

Unfortunately, gigantic geeks think that the world wants computing to be 
as complicated as they like it. In reality, people enjoy convenience, 
simplicity and intuitive design a lot more than they do a terminal with 
lots of complicated commands. Both as rock-solid nowadays, so there is 
no reason to opt for the one which can apparently run servers for decades.
