Yes, I worded that too personal. Of course if you use it so much, consciously, you care about it. I'm in the same boat, and I use Linux for the same reason.
What I really wanted to say: "Most people don't bother with the OS, when it does its job, because there is a myriad other aspects of their life." And I do stand by this. Not because I like it, but because it's my experience with people. They don't rock the boat if not necessary, and frankly, I'm the same, just in different domains.
And so, these people are far from idiots. They just care about different things.
