Maybe because you are yourself a long time Linux desktop user so that you don't really care what people feel about your environment unless they speak out.
I remember the moment that I saw someone who uses the plain GNOME 3 desktop for the first time when the only Linux I knew was Ubuntu - it was not "weird" but is was enough distinctive to me so that it dragged my all of attention.

I'm genuinely curious if there are places where this actually draws attention. Especially when the linked article talks about "suspicion" not just curiosity.
