I don't know if I care what game developers like, I do care what's better for consumers like myself though. Unless you're saying that devs being able to pull more tricks result in either better graphical fidelity or performance for the consumer, otherwise I don't really think what you said contradicts my point.

Anyone is free to chose what they think is best for themselves, game consoles culture is not the same as PCs.

Additionally, game development culture is definitely not in line with the FOSS culture that is usually discussed in sites like HN.
