Why can't the Bitcoin development be more like Linux?

Linux has a huge development team. So many people take part in updating it. If you run Linux on your computer, you will know there are always updates. All these updates are created by the open source community. So why can't Bitcoin development be more like Linux?

What are we missing? Or maybe the development team will grow as big as the team of Linux?

What do you think?

Linux development doesn't deal with billions of dollars of a store of value system

Oh man...you have no idea what you are talking about don't you? Linux is fundation for huge part of internet as far as servers go. If it would have some critical issue, it would be disaster for servers, and anyone who uses linux based systems (hostings, banks etc.). I'd say linux is spine of Internet as far as software goes. Value that rests on linux fundation (only if you add banks that use it) is tens, hundreds or even thousands times larger than current worth of BTC. To that, add value of every other internet server (not server itself, but value of resources that are on that server) that is based on linux and you have value that you cant even pronounce.
