Answered the part where you, at least, admit that other people exist and may even, gasp, have desires different from yours.

The majority of people are perfectly happy to live without hibernation and without the ability to change kernel options. They value the ability to pay with their phone in a shops or watch movies on Netflix much more than any software freedoms — otherwise devices of type jail made cool, designed to sever fools from their freedom wouldn't have outnumbered all others by count of 10-to-1 (and soon 100-to-1, I suspect).

Ok. Can you explain what kind of people you want to attract, why do you think I want to attract these same people, too, and why are you sure they even exist (except for the ones who have already switched to OpenBSD and Gentoo)?
