What it has to do with anthing? I'm not saying it "kinda works"; I'm saying it works great.

This is OpenSource; nobody is "forcing" you to anything. If you want to you can take the code of ALSA, OSS4 or even PulseAudio and do whatever you want with it. But every major distribution and all the Linux based phones are going with PulseAudio. And for a good reason: it works great. So it's not being forced on anyone, but its going to be the default almost everywhere.
