Wait a moment.
Aside from a few exceptions, most product design is unattributed. Can you name four people who worked on the mobile phone you use? Or indeed any appliance you use?
Of the programmers and engineers I do know about, I don't know about them because I use the product, but because there's something interesting or unusual about the person.

- weavejester 16y agoUh... so what? Are you saying people can only be famous for work they do in their free time?
- varjag 16y agoI'm not saying that and you know it. If someone uses fruits of your passion for free, it would be nice to get an acknowledgement for that, wouldn't you agree?
- weavejester 16y ago"I'm not saying that and you know it." I had no idea what you were saying. Your point wasn't very clear. "If someone uses fruits of your passion for free, it would be nice to get an acknowledgement for that, wouldn't you agree?" Certainly, but acknowledgements don't make you famous.
- Psyonic 16y agoBut you're asking for things to work differently there than everywhere else. Humans are creatures of habit, and a product is a product.
