And I don't care about fringe users. Why should the whole architecture of the stack be geared towards them, harming 99% of 'common' users along the way?
I'm not against crazy WMs like RatPoison or XMonad, but only when their existence does not require additional expense from other users.

Maybe because those 1% of people are those who bring you your OS kernel, compilers and device drivers? ;-)
Anyway, I don't see the "all policy belongs to the window manager" model in X harming anybody, as opposed to systems which take choices away from the users.

Not really. Most kernel developers use pretty standard distributions these days.
