Some people don't think like that when they write software. They view it as a knife, not a noose.

I prefer those people.

I'm writing from the perspective of the user (which may be a developer using your product in their product). I don't really care if you view software as a knife or as a noose, I don't want to be coerced by the threat of either.
Ah, I thought you were encouraging service based development, I see you're on the 'library' side. My bad.
