> who hears “10k commands” and goes, “wow, perfect”

You have to understand: Those thousands of commands are like songs. You wouldn't pay and subscribe to Spotify if they allowed only a few hundred songs, right? When another editor adds another command, it's not composable. You cannot meddle with it; there are no hooks, no advising. In Emacs, every command is a function, a function you can alter, extend, exploit, or override. So, yes, give me a million elisp functions. I'd love to use them in every weird way possible.
