Isn't it more of a slippery slope? I want to be able run whatever I want on my system. If I get malicious code, who's fault is it? Maybe my browsing habits, the tasks I want done, the time I can spend on roling my own, the documentation (haha, what documentation), the schools, or the government and AT&T? Who is this real Unix Developer? The Linux Kernel has a stelar track record, just the towers of complexity built around it are growing like the weeds. The kernel isn't making it easy, hardware developers don't play nice, and every one wannabe expert wants it to be just working. There's the actual "No True Scotsman", because capability based kernels exist for a long time now. Yet, users want something to work with, actual software that needs to be written, that doesn't even have to be in C. The expressed sentiment is entirely independent of the domain. You simply need to know what you are doing or things won't move forward. It's only consequential that those whom rely on Unixoid systems for whichever reason do express this sentiment in terms of those systems. The alternative are walled gardens, where criticizm is impossible. Because with secure boot and the like it would require breaking the system to take control.
