I guess the problem is that there are a lot of things many of us really like about OSX. I like it for a lot reasons, and while I'm sure I could learn to like things about Linux or Windows, I'm also pretty sure I've got the right OS for me right now. But I still need to be able to get under the hood, or it's just not going to do everything I want.
So if (hypothetical, not real world) Apple were tomorrow to remotely turn OSX into an iOS like system where everything is centralized and the internals are locked away, I'd be really disappointed. Because I'd ultimately have to choose to use a "super-user" system, but that means switching to some other one that I don't care for as much.
The message of this post and others seems to be "We like that you're making everything simpler, but please don't take the power away from those of us who need it. We don't want to switch, so for everyone's sake, please don't make us".
