For what it's worth frenck does not represent Home Assistant and the first sentence of his profile is "Slightly assholic at first sight"... That said you have a point but in my usage of Home Assistant almost since birth when it was a single pip install command I can tell you the sheer functionality, integrations, etc make getting it fully running a nightmare. Not to mention from their perspective actually supporting it almost impossible. Maybe this speaks to a wider problem but I'm very happy to install it with docker on the distro and hardware of my choice and have everything more-or-less just work. I referenced the operating system approach here because it's the quickest and easiest path to get up and running on a Raspberry Pi and therefore relevant to the article.
