I’m a long time Linux user, and I wholeheartedly agree with you. Linus is a dick. He insults people all the time, and people have normalized it. He’s a fucking genius, but not a nice person. What’s wrong with just saying “hey, your code has so and so issues. Please fix and resubmit”???
Right, and we’re all robots here who need to be whipped into shape? Surely there are no other reasonable ways to treat people who were born with a brain that, despite its marvels, still has a very primitive predisposition to process emotions and social cues.
That said, being a dick is antithetical to collaboration, especially for a project where people donate their time and effort.

He cares more about quality than your feelings. Boo fucking hoo.
Being nice doesn’t cost money
