Probably because for most people the important issues/choices in their life do not revolve around the choice of their OS, browser, streaming service, car brand, FOSS apps, etc. but around career, family, friends, kids, partying, traveling, having fun, etc. none of which depend on the choices of the former.

You might call this "sleepwalking through life", while other people will call it "just living life" and not worrying about the unimportant pieces.

Only HN tries to be an elitist stickler for these things which do not matter to 99% of people.
