You're projecting your own opinion on the rest of us. I am a user of Linux and I don't give a flying handshake about vendor kernels or their users. It is in the best interest of me and my business to have complete knowledge of all risks associated with the software we use. We need to be perfectly informed to make good operating decisions.

But his stand doesn't help you in any respect either. His attachment to
his views means he doesn't work with vendor-sec. Which means official
kernel.org kernels get released with known security holes. Check Alan Cox'
emails in the lkml thread.
