There are some things where I thin could better Linux to narrow its focus, particularly with all the different packages types. Deb seems to be the most popular, maybe the entire community could benefit if we adopted Deb as the default packaging choice for Linux. Interesting point, nice article.

The distro choice is really confusing for a beginner. I take your point that noobs will use whatever comes with their computer. In my case, it was Linpus on my Acer Aspire One which I wasn't very happy with. After reading around, I installed Easy Peasy Linux and found this is much better. But even once you've got past the distro choice, you have the desktop choice to contend with, then the great choice of open source apps, then the new unfamiliar file system and the installation problems. Luckily, there's lots of info on the net to help out with all this but it shouldn't have to be this way for beginners who will be easily put off and probably revert to an OS they are familiar with.
