It’s a libre implementation of RDP. Regardless of who pioneered it, it’s still open-source software, and Microsoft needs to keep RDP backwards compatible so it’s unlikely they’ll break it.
Worst case, FreeRDP can just go and do its own thing regardless of Microsoft

There’s actually a second player: Samsung
But aside from the two of them, yeah, closed. Basically the protocol the servers use to talk to each other is open, but whether they’ll want to talk to your server is undocumented and unlikely, and the protocols Google and Samsung use to talk from their servers to their respective apps are closed.

That’s a bit reductive, don’t you think? Bugs happen.
Go fix it yourself if you feel so strongly about it, show your software development prowess.
I debated posting there, I think I’ll crosspost

It’s as much Linux as macOS’ XNU kernel is FreeBSD.

Definitely, he should try using Linux in a typical Microsoft-driven corporate environment with a regular laptop for a month and see how it is.
Microsoft is in bed with Canonical though, so Snaps are their preferred method of software delivery.
You do make a good point that there is a decent selection of proprietary software on Linux, but some of these are half-assed attempts (Discord, Zoom, Proton), and the vast majority of vendors are not thinking about Linux at all.
Vendors don’t give a shit about Linux.
Beggars can’t be choosers.
This does indeed directly solve OP’s original problem, but it does not answer the question of why GNOME Software isn’t working as it should.
I can report that the HP ENVY X360 15-eu0013ca has a Wacom display and pen and it works perfectly under Linux.
