There are a surprising number of masochistic devs out there.

  There really are... which is why projects should decide up front who the target audience is, and not try to please the suckless crowd if that's not the target. The downside is of course, the suckless crowd can get totally left out when the whole world switches to the new standard(see The Init System That Starts Flame Wars), which is almost unsolvable since there's no product that can please both minimalists and those who want things to just work with zero tinkering, and not much reason for mainstream users to pay attention to anything but the popular standard.
