The massively different userlands, mutable root partition by default, root by default, etc.

And there’s your answer: that’s shit no one cares about other than a few super nerds on Lemmy.

    People care about having an OS not controlled by Big Tech. You might not, but you don't have to be a dick about it to people who do.

    Sure. Ask the average person if they want to give up their Facebook or TikTok apps so they can have a ‘free’ OS. You’re absolutely delusional if you think that any significant number of consumers will choose that.
