When I open a text editor, I want to type text. Vim won’t let me do that without explicitly telling it that I want to.

Most of the time you are using a browser, I can almost guarantee you’re not typing text. Likewise, but to a lesser extent, I bet most of your editor time is spent reading and doing minor tweaks instead of pure insert mode.
