That the EU would, after recognizing AI's value, freely give up control of its few advantages to the US, despite of this being a conventional trade issue which the EU has experience with, seems like a very pessimistic assumption.

Back when I still had a need for it it was solely because some apps do not have proper support for missing tray icons (you can only fully close them via the tray icon), not because I actually like the feature.
I appreciate that GNOME tries to move on from this. Unfortunately it doesn't have the market control that Windows has, so not all app developers follow suit.
I showed Codex CLI to my brother who is not a tech person at all; he's never before touched code. He successfully built a somewhat complex app with it that works well.
Before, I was certain that a non-techy person would get stuck somewhere along the process. But I was proven wrong.
I watched him a bit while he was working on it. He interacted with Codex in a very different manner than how I would. Since he knew none of the technical details, he would use very vague and shallow wording. But that was not an issue. Codex also allowed him to make use of git, despite of him having no idea what git is.
This has changed my view of Codex' abilities significantly. I often hear people comment that AI seems intelligent in domains you don't know much about, but turns out to be stupid when you actually know the domain. This was not the case here at all. Despite of my brother completely ignoring the technical details, the AI built good code that fulfilled the requirements well.
You may want to clarify that in your FAQ, which states this in the very first entry:

The way it's structured (combining many previously separate utilities into one) hinders competition. That's tolerable while it's still one of the best solutions for the things it does, but will become an issue in the future.
I've tried a few distros in the past and have now settled (on NixOS for servers and tinkering, and Fedora for just-working). But I've never tried a BSD and would also be curious how using one would turn out.
Maybe getting into FreeBSD for a bit would be a fun little project.
