I think you're missing the really great point Linus is making: that we (as humans) can find a way to work together on a common goal despite our differences.
Linus obviously has some differences, and yet is managing to pull off this amazing project that affects so many of us.
Forget business and software development, the world needs to learn how to work this way, because there's no way the entire world will ever "be professional" in that we all agree to the same ideology and behaviour. If the human race as a whole is going to function effectively, we need to be able to work together even though we don't always agree. If we can do that, as Linus does, we win.
