The corporate enterprise community is who appears to create most of the attempts at user friendly, one size fits all, stable standards, because.... that's what seems to sell, and what saves development budgets not having to support lots of different OSes, as Windows has shown.
Many of the non corporate hobbyists are fine with everything needing tweaking and maintenance, they chose Linux specifically because they want to tweak stuff.
Not sure what point you're trying to make but the "non corporate hobbyists" are ineffective to the point of irrelevance when it comes to Linux core development. Everything they do is downstream from the influence of giant corporations.
