We probably have to agree to disagree on that one:

I see loads of commercials for buying iPhones. I do not see a lot of commercials for citing GNU Parallel.

If I have to make a citation, it will cost me no money, but one line of text if I write an article. If I have to buy an iPhone, it will cost me many hours of work.

To me the two things are not even close to be similar.

But I can find one similar aspect: No one forces you to use an iPhone.
