Theory: Apple's lifestyle branding is quite important to the identity of many in the community here. I mean, look at the buy-in at launch for Apple Vision Pro by so many people on HN--it made actual Apple communities and publications look like jaded skeptics.

Is it really that hard to imagine people have different viewpoints, and decisions than yourself without being painted as vapid, airheads?
