Thoughts on a Global Design System
Briefly

Isn't every open-source design system a "global design system"? Aren't the people making them trying to make them as useful as possible for as many people as possible? If that's right, and thus they have failed, why did they fail? What are they doing that doesn't map to the philosophy of a global design system?
What percentage of organizations is the goal for ideal adoption? Or that could at least theoretically meet the needs of those organizations? It's not 100% (Brad said so directly) because that would need to solve for every niche edge case there is. It's also not, say, 50%, as that's shooting low for something that's supposed to cover so many core needs. Is it 80%? Where do you have to turn the dial of opinionated-ness to get there? Probably pretty low, right? You can't dictate the structure of a Dialog or a Card component to get to 80%.
