Okay, fine, that's exactly what I said- that I'm sure his points are valid for his use case, which is the upper, upper end of the market.
But surely he must understand that what's good for him and his very particular use cases isn't necessarily good for the other 98% of camera customers out there.
I engineer advanced web applications for a living. There are lots of things about OSX that would make my life easier for my use cases. That doesn't mean I think that all Macs should come preloaded with Atom, Slack, dual Thunderbolt displays, advanced Git integration built into the user interface or a host of other things that would make my use case easier out of the box. Because my use case isn't what moves 99% of laptops. If you want to outfit your setup with high end technology so your camera won't budge in a cat 5 hurricane, go nuts. I don't think it would be the best decision for mainstream camera makers to address it. If it were, then they would be doing it.

The other 98% of camera customers are better served with their smartphones. Making concessions to folks who aren't buying these cameras and have no use for them doesn't make much sense.
