Yeah, I can switch from one distro to another. That's a choice I have. But it's not so simple as you make it sound.
Switching distros is like moving to a new city. If you stay in the same state (or at least in the same country) it isn't too disorienting. But switching to something completely different (like on another continent, or going from an RPM-based to deb-based distro) will require some significant effort to adapt to the new situation.
We pick our distro of choice based on a number of factors. Just because it has some downsides doesn't mean we have to move immediately. But that doesn't mean we can't give (constructive!) feedback if there are problems.
