Why do these giant tech coy always water down cryptocurrencies?

Hyperledger is just a Private Blockchain Solution developed for Institutions and big coy.
In my opinion, this will attract governments attention more but it will defeat the ultimate aim of Blockchain which the general public wants - a public blockchain.
Pls tell me, do you think I should spend my time studying Hyperledger or Ethereum Blockchain; I'm thinking of starting a course on one of those blockchains
PS: I'm not a developer but on the learning part to be one.
