I think OP chose a random picture of servers to represent “linux” despite netflix[0] not having anything to do with this. And then cited the first item in the Debian social contract[1]. And then just wildly speculated that because other distros don’t have a social contract, that they might someday start charging money (they won’t they would just as soon stop existing than charge money, but ok).
So in summary… “Computer pictures” + “Debian good” + “Arch not good” in a wild mishmash of nonsense.
Also, to the OP: using a picture clearly labeled as Netflix just to start a conversation about the debian social contract is highly confusing and misleading. No one here has any idea wtf you are talking about.
Netflix is using FreeBSD, not Linux.
Jesse, what are you talking about?

0: Netflix has published plenty of stuff about how they exclusively use FreeBSD for their CDN https://freebsdfoundation.org/end-user-stories/netflix-case-study/
1: https://www.debian.org/social_contract
FreeBSD is Linux as far as I know.
iOS could also be Android, as far as you know
