Blackberry == QNX these days, and a company that exists to sell "not Linux" might reasonably have a hate on for a free OS. ISTR an embedded compiler company a few years ago used to come out with quite amusing "GCC = Death" hot takes. That's not to say they're producing bad products (the last time I used QNX it was quite lovely and rock solid) but it's not going to lose them any money to diss Linux. It's not like Blackberry's selling many phones right now ... /ducks Stewart
