This rings more true than many would want to accept: Most people view and use computers as household appliances; they just use whatever is installed on it and if it breaks they go out and buy a new one. For most people there are, in fact, no legitimate reasons to run "their own" software on "general purpose" (read: household appliance) computing hardware. Almost nobody runs custom software on their washing machine or toaster.
