Sorry to say, but there's a lot questionable stuff found within your comment. But I will try to limit the discussion around some of the more egregious ones.

Hate to keep litigating this around here, but the shift alone is enough. Explaining to people WTF an immutable filesystem is, is a sure way to frustrate them into giving up, despite whatever comms finesse you might THINK you have.

I don't understand what's so hard to understand about (some) core system files being read-only, i.e. you can't change/modify it. Can you help me understand why that would cause so much frustration?

Counterpoint: STOP SUGGESTING IMMUTABLE DISTROS TO NEW USERS

Countering the counterpoint with an anecdote: I cold turkey switched from Windows to Fedora Silverblue almost 4 years ago. Beginner-friendly derivatives like Bazzite (or other uBlue images) weren't even around back then. And, somehow, I managed. And there are many other testimonials that point out something similar, especially with many^[Please, consider going over to the Bazzite subreddit and see it for yourself.] newbies appreciating Bazzite. Are you ignoring this empirical evidence? If so, on what basis?

there is ZERO benefit

Come on, you know that's not true. Perhaps you intended to write: "I suppose there is ZERO benefit to me (and others like me)". Though, if you genuinely don't know any, then please consider going over this (lengthy) blog post by Colin Walters, a key figure in the past and current development of Fedora Atomic and Fedora CoreOS. It's not a very efficient writing for educating oneself on this topic, but it's the best I know.
