That's all true. But do anyone understand why there is still so much 
pressure for every open source OS and specifically *BSD on "default 
desktop environment" or similar ideas?

Such a pressure exist for 20 years at least, and - between other results - 
started demise of linux as trusty high performance system.

Why people still not learned from faults and keep harming good open source 
projects that way?
