And many people are making that decision, so what seems to be your problem with this?

No problem with this.
My problem is that they frame it as if their personal habits/users are universal, and a computer that doesn't cater to these is inherently bad (as opposed to just bad for them).
Most people aren't -- from politics to personal finances and relationships, there are tons of bad decisions everywhere one looks. (Including my decision to answer this comment some would say -- heh).
We have schools, best practices, guidelines, standards etc, to try to enforce some good decisions upon people.
That said, if one feels strongly about it, there's always the decision NOT to buy such a laptop.
