It's the HN effect, as well as selection bias. People here are highly technical and may notice things that regular people don't, or they do things in a very idiosyncratic way. I remember seeing comments here before about how some people have no cell phone, run only a very old school terminal based computer, etc, for example. They also seem to be annoyed at very specific things as you can see in the comments here, things that the average user wouldn't even think about. Ultimately, HN and other technical fora are not representative of the average user's experience.
