Much harder for it to be taken in unilateral directions by someone with a vested interest. It's a better use of resources to contribute to existing open source projects instead of adapting something wholly divorced from existing projects and hoping you aren't saddled with an incompatible fork (for any reason) down the line.
Now, now, you make it sound as if innovation (even on the OS level) is a bad thing.
