> there isn't a reality where this does whatever you want

I wish something called user choice and configuration options existed in this reality.

There are multiple ways to get that though. One of them would be if a lot of hard forks existed, then you'd have a lot of options to choose from. Or those developers can contribute upstream and work on adding tons of options to the upstream project. My point is that there isn't a world where you just get the choice and options out of thin air without programmers, eventually someone has to program the options in somewhere or they just won't exist.
One is a world where its possible and legal. The other is where it's not legal and very difficult.

Sucks that end users can't "hard fork" and fix their shit, but I can't fix planes either, we all pay for our choices.
