Its not "ability to", its "desire to".

The real issue is,  do big companies want to have the future of their
product lines decided by the likes of alan cox? 

I really have trouble believing that linux is responsible for cobalts
success (is a company that loses millions of dollars a year a
"success"?...interesting times we are in, arent they?)

considering that anyone with minor linux knowledge could build a much more
powerful box for half the price themselves, it seesm that the "solution" is
what people buy, not the box. The box is slow, overpriced and buggy.
