I think this “for users” is the key point.
Libre Software is so good because we make it for ourselves, be build the
tool we want to use, with the features we know will make our lives
easier and our work more efficient.
But in this discussion, it is about people setting up tools they would
not use for themselves in order to attract hypothetical users.
It is bound to fail, and it denotes quite a bit of condescension. That
the condescension is mostly warranted does not make it ok.
