Now meet the sysadmin that thinks the same, but for windows for clients. At the risk of overgeneralizing, people are only for "diversity" when it means supporting their preferred underdog platform (eg. linux desktop). When they're the dominant incumbent it's suddenly "dark pattern", "they don't know any better" and "no one can convince me otherwise".
